Teach my brother-in-law

Before you know it, the twelfth lunar month is here, and there is another heavy snowfall in the middle. People who have been in the nest for more than ten days start to get busy after the snow stops, and the New Year is coming.

This year, the weather is good, the harvest in the fields is good, and there is no war. After the collection of tax and money, every household has grain reserves, just thinking that this year will be a lively year.

The first is Laba, this long-traditional folk festival, and the custom of Laba porridge is even more prevalent.The style of Laba porridge depends on the ability of each household. It does not mean that eight kinds of fruits must be made up. Rich people may have more than ten kinds of fruits. Poor people can only buy ordinary fruits and peanuts from the field. And so on, but everyone will think of a way to make a big pot of Laba porridge at home.

After the Laba porridge with red dates, lotus seeds, walnuts, chestnuts, almonds, pine nuts, longan, hazelnuts, grapes, ginkgo, peanuts and other fruits is cooked, it is necessary to worship the gods and ancestors first.After that, it is given to relatives and friends, and finally the whole family eats it.If you keep the leftover Laba porridge for a few days, it is a good sign, whichever is "surplus every year".

After Laba, Heji's business is still booming, and I heard that the folks who built the guard house will not return home for the New Year until the New Year's Eve, but it has snowed twice, and it is already inconvenient to work on the construction site.The governor of Junzhong Town is also preparing to return to the army for the New Year, so the civilian husbands are also relaxed in their work, and He Ji eats pots, and there are more people drinking.

A rough calculation, from the beginning of the twelfth lunar month to the present, in less than fifteen days, there is an income of nearly 15 taels of silver. What is the concept of 15 taels of silver? A family of five will not be able to live for three to five years question.

It's just that Baihe doesn't plan to pay dividends before the Chinese New Year, so she will know about Lu'er.Lu'er also said that she was not short of money to spend, and besides, her father gave her a monthly allowance, so it must not be short of these few taels of silver.

Bai He planned to buy the land. Before that, he thought about it after the spring, but now he has a different idea. Now that he bought the land, the pig manure and ash from the family have been retting into two large piles of compost, and they will be thrown into the field earlier. It could not be better.

It just so happens that I have these 15 taels of silver on hand now, and I saved a few taels before, which adds up to almost 20 taels of silver. According to the current price quoted by the dental bank, good land is at least three taels of silver per mu, and dry land may not be lower than one tael. , I am afraid that 20 taels of silver can buy six or seven acres.It's just that money is needed during the Chinese New Year, so I promised Wang Ma and others the wages and rewards. Although the store has income every day, it's good to keep a few taels of silver.

Bai He planned to buy five acres of fertile land, and asked the people in the dental shop to inquire, and within a few days, there was news that there was a family in the east of the town who was planning to move to the city, and that they had twenty acres of fertile land that they wanted to sell. , but people asked to buy it all at once, so I'm afraid it will cost dozens of taels.

There was not enough money, so I had to find someone to buy it together. The only person Bai He knew well was Lu'er, and I didn't know if she had enough money. If she had enough money, the two families would buy the good dry land together.After the tooth dealer left, Bai He went to ask Lu'er, and Aunt Wang jokingly said that her granddaughter was preparing the dowry.

However, the money was still not enough, so they dragged Lu'er to find Liu Huang, the second daughter-in-law of Li Zheng's family. After discussing with his man, Liu Zhi, Liu Huang agreed to make up for the missing money. In this way, the three families pooled 60 taels of silver.

I went to the dental office and entrusted them to exchange the land deed. Of course, it also explained that the 60 taels of silver included the dental office's fees and government taxes. How much the dental office can earn is their business. I believe they have the ability to make a small profit. a sum.

Among them, Bai He gritted his teeth and got 18 taels to get six mu of fertile land, Lu'er got 21 taels to get seven mu of fields, and Liu Zhi got 21 taels to get seven mu of fields, so the [-] mu of land became the three families of Baihe, Lu'er, and Liu Zhi. that's it.The three families have all seen the [-] mu of land. The location is very good, and there are rivers and canals nearby. It is very convenient to irrigate. If they are not in a hurry to sell, they may not be able to buy this land with this money.

In addition to buying this land, plus the four mu of land tenanted to Xiao Dagui, and the two mu of dry land, the Lin family now has ten mu of good farmland and two mu of dry land.It's nothing to put this amount of land in Xiushan Pass. It can only be said that if the weather is good, it can solve the food problem of the Lin family.

Once you have the land, you only need to cultivate it well, and the life of the Lin family will get better and better. When the time comes, the land deeds from the tenants to the Xiao family will be taken back, and if you have spare money in your hands, you can buy some land, and everything will be worry-free.

It's just that there is still a major event to be done next year, and I'm afraid I don't have more money to buy fields.The big thing is to build a house, and it is not a long-term solution to have three thatched houses in the family. In the past two years, some places have started to leak due to the wind and rain.It's just that more money is needed to build a house. I'm afraid it won't be good if you don't get 80 taels.

It's just that the fields need people to take care of them after the spring. There is only one scholar at home, Lin Zi, and several uncles are still young. I am afraid that this manpower will not be able to grow them. It seems that I have to buy a cow. I am afraid that the farm tools at home I have to buy it again, and I don’t have any plows, so I have to buy this one too.

The current Baihe can't wait for one petal to become two money flowers.

I also thought that if the business in the store was better, the money would come rushing in, but the new year was getting closer, and the business might have to stop.

It was 23 in a blink of an eye, and the town began to catch up with the New Year, and it became lively all of a sudden. The market is held on the last day of the year to catch up with the New Year. After today, the market will be after the Lantern Festival, so today the town It's very lively here.

Sellers of millet, rice, red beans, mung beans, fine noodles, rough noodles, etc.; sellers of agricultural tools such as plows, hoes, baskets, and sickles; Another cattle and sheep, pigs and chickens and other transactions.Among them are hawkers selling candy, village women carrying bamboo baskets, old men with drunken faces, urchins in twos and threes, and young ladies who cover half of their faces, coming and going very lively.

23 To worship ancestors, pig heads cannot be used. In the Ming Dynasty, it was strictly forbidden to put pig heads on the altar. This is also to avoid the Ming emperor's surname.On the altar, two candles are placed on each side, and there is an incense burner in the middle, with incense burning on it.Sansheng has one fish, one chicken, and one bowl of pork. The fish, chicken, and meat are all steamed and half-cooked without any seasoning. Among them, the fish is in strips and the chicken is in pieces, but the pork is in pieces.Three glasses of rice wine are placed on the table, three chopsticks and three plates.

Women were not allowed to approach the altar, so Lin Ziqian, Lin Zihan, and Lin Zijun brought brothers Lin Ziqian to worship their ancestors.

Afterwards, the whole family was dispatched to catch up with the new year, to buy the necessary supplies for the new year, and to go to the store in the afternoon, and the store will be on holiday tomorrow, so it has to be tidied up today, and the wages have to be paid.
