Jiangmen's direct daughter is busy farming

Chapter 8
Jingyue originally wanted to use homemade adobes, but Zhongbao and Zhongbiao had already bought bricks at the behest of Mr. Song.

In the next few days, under the leadership of the old man Song, they began to set up the kangs for the rooms where Song Jingrui and Song Jingkuan lived.At first, Song Jingrui and Song Jingkuan were very shy, thinking that Jingyue took them very seriously, but later on they found out that Jingyue was using their house for some experiments, and when they were done well, they gave the rest of the house a kang.

The rest of the Song family were not idle either. When the house was on the kang, the men went to the mountains to cut firewood, and the women took care of the housework, and the task of cooking naturally fell on Jingyue.

"Yue'er, look, Uncle Six has caught you four more big fish!" Song Zhanming carried a bundle of firewood on one shoulder and four big fat fish in one hand.

Jingyue looked at the fish in Song Zhanming's hands with some headaches. Since the last time I made fish ball dumplings, the elders and brothers seemed to be competing with fish balls and dumplings, and they ate them every day.

Jingyue asked them more than once: "Aren't you tired of eating for several days?"

"Not greasy, not greasy at all!"

Of course, the reason why they are not greasy is also because of Jingyue, because in addition to making fish ball dumplings, she also cooks wild vegetable fish ball soup, chicken fish ball noodles, fried fish balls, egg fried dumplings and other food related to fish balls and dumplings. , even Song Jingke, the eldest lady who goes up the mountain to hunt every day, has become a fisherman who goes to the stream to catch fish every day.

"Second Miss, the kang is over!" The old man Song who led the kang came out of the room of Zhongbao and Zhongbiao. This was their last kang.

Jingyue really didn't expect that ancient craftsmen would do things so neatly. The process of making a kang is not difficult. In addition, there are many people and the bricks are ready-made, so it takes half a day to make a kang.

The finished Kang has been tested and works very well.The impatient second brother and fifth brother secretly burned the kang in the past two nights. Yesterday, because of a moment of fun, the hot sixth uncle jumped out of bed, grabbed the two mischievous brothers and beat them up.

In the past few days, Jingyue has been having dinner with the old man who stayed in Song Dynasty at noon and night, and inquired about the news in their village and outside the mountain by the way.When I learned that Songjia Village had its own small fish pond, I had an idea in my heart, and I planned to implement it after the Pan Kang was over.

Jingyue asked old man Song and others to sit down on the wooden pier in the courtyard, and then asked Lengshuang to bring them a few cups of hot tea. These people have really worked hard these days.

"Second Miss, don't be so polite! If you have anything to say, please say it!" Old man Song felt that the past few days in Xiaozhuangzi were like a dream. This Second Miss of the Song family not only has a sweet voice, but also treats everyone kindly. He was so angry that he didn't mean to look down on poor people like them, and she was a good cook. He really wanted to take out the food called fish balls and dumplings for his family to taste.

Jingyue took a look at her grandfather and fourth uncle who were playing chess on the stone table in the yard, and then at her father who was chopping firewood, and then said to Old Man Song, "I'm sorry to trouble our family for a few days. , This is wages!" Jingyue took a money bag from Madam Su, and handed it to old man Song herself.

The old man Song almost spilled the hot tea when he heard the word "work money", he quickly shook his head and said, "Second miss, you can't help it! It is already a great kindness for you to teach us the kang kang skills , how dare we ask for your wages. Although I, old man Song, can't read, I still know how to repay kindness, and people in Songjia Village don't do such embarrassing things!"

Several other kang workers in Songjia Village also nodded their heads. They are poor but not cheap, and Jingyue is now the benefactor of their entire Songjia Village.No matter what others say, their Song Family Village will treat Mr. Song's family as benefactors to repay.

For the first time, Jingyue's outstretched hand froze in the air with some hesitation. She could deeply feel the sincerity and gratitude in the eyes of Old Man Song and the others. What, things like starving to death and freezing to death will also happen.

Thinking for a while, Jingyue moved the purse an inch forward, and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, I won't force you to accept the wages, so let the money be my entry fee!"

Entry fee?What does it mean?The old man Song didn't understand the meaning of Jingyue's words for a while.

"You guys also know that our Song family is in trouble now, and it's not very convenient to do what we want to do. Winter is coming, and I also want to earn a few pennies to buy some wine for my grandfather and the elderly to keep warm." Jingyue Seeing Mr. Song playing chess, his hand paused, and continued with a smile, "So, I plan to teach you how to make fish balls and dumplings. If you can make money by then, you have ten copper coins, give me one That’s fine. But please also ask those who want to learn, don’t tell the outside world that I taught you, can you?”

Jingyue originally planned to teach Old Man Song and the others for free, because she knew very well that making fish balls and dumplings is not complicated, as long as a chef with a brain can make them with a little thought.But after seeing the behavior of Old Man Song and the others, she decided to make up her mind, as long as she could make a pot of wine for her grandfather.

"Second Miss, are you a fairy in the sky?" Song Shitou asked excitedly.He was the young man who asked Jingyue "can I use other materials" for the kang at the beginning.

Not only Jingyue was stunned, but other Song family members in the yard were also stunned, especially the male masters of the Song family, all of them glanced at Song Shitou.

Song Shitou didn't know what he said wrongly, he just felt an invisible pressure pressing towards him, and he almost fell off the wooden pier in fright.

"Why do you ask that?" Jingyue also felt that the atmosphere in the courtyard was different for a while, but she didn't care.

"Because—because—because, you are such a kind person. Only fairies and Bodhisattvas can—will be kind to people like us!" Song Shitou finally finished talking about what was in his heart.

Jingyue smiled happily, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm not a fairy, and besides, this is nothing special, and there is no distinction between 'this kind of person' and 'that kind of person' in the world. Buddhists often say:' All living beings are equal', we just don’t have money now. In terms of character and integrity, I think the people in Songjia Village are much better than many rich people!"

Jingyue didn't know how shocking her words were in this era. Everyone looked at her straight. Everyone's heart is not at peace.

"What's the matter? Did I—did I say something wrong?" Jingyue subconsciously looked at her grandfather.Maybe it's because her grandfather is her greatest spiritual support in modern times, so here she also regards Mr. Song as her strong backing.
