Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 83 Buying a House

Yun Song took out the silver that had been hidden on the sledge just now. It was a shoulder bag that Fang sewed for Da Lang, and it contained more than 390 taels of silver from selling tigers today. "Ms. Yuxian, this is the silver I got today, almost 400 taels." As he spoke, he poured out the silver.They are all five taels of silver ingots, and there are more than 70 ingots in total. With so much silver, everyone's eyes are dazzled at once.Yuxian and Dalang are better, after all, they already know.But other people, especially the children, where have they seen so much silver?One by one was too excited.

"Just for the more than 300 taels of silver, you fought the tigers in the mountains, and you went to the town to fight the bandits. I'm afraid when I think about it. This money is really hot. I don't know if there will be anything else tomorrow. What's the matter? Hey, I just want to live in peace." There were tears in Fang's eyes, she felt sorry for her husband and son.

"Sisters and sisters, don't be sad. Brother Tong is a lucky man, and my apprentices are not simple people. They will all die and become auspicious. It's okay." Yuan Qingyun persuaded him.

"Brother, look at what you said, it seems that our family is some great nobles." Fang Shi made him laugh, and Fang Shi didn't believe his words. "By the way, the child's father, I told Yuxian last night that we should find a way to buy this house. You go to the village chief's house tomorrow and tell him about it."

"Okay, I'll ask tomorrow, and I have today's business." Yun Song agreed. "Okay, let's all rest, today is exhausting enough."

Everyone also dispersed, and went back to their houses to rest.

The next day, after breakfast, Yun Song went to the village chief's house.Li Futian came back very late yesterday, and he didn't get up early this morning. He was eating dinner when Yun Song came. "Yo, Yun Song is here, how is it? Is the injury better?" Li Futian was very enthusiastic.

"Uncle, I came to see you for something." Seeing that he was still eating, Yun Song said, "Uncle, you eat first, and we'll talk after we're done."

Li Futian was also polite, and after finishing his meal in a few strokes, Mrs. Chen cleared the table. "Yun Song, if you have anything to say, just tell me. If you ask about yesterday, I will tell you that when I went to the mayor yesterday, I said that someone found three people dead on the road. I went to have a look. It seems to be bandits. The mayor asked me what the three looked like, and I told them about their clothes and appearance, and the mayor clapped his hands and agreed. After asking, I found out that these three people had been robbing in this area for some time, and many people He died in their hands. There were two times when there were too many people before someone escaped. The mayor said that many people in the town came to him to report the crime, but he only had a few brave men under his command. How could they be the opponents of the bandits? Huh? Our town is still seventy or eighty miles away from the county seat, and the police from the county seat never come. The mayor is so worried that he doesn't know what to do. When he heard that the three died, he was very happy. Yun Song, I know this is serious, so I didn’t mention your family’s affairs at all. However, if you are interested, you can still find out. After all, too many people knew when you went to the town to sell tigers yesterday. It will be worth tens of thousands of dollars in future actions. Pay attention, tell the children never to mention the encounter with bandits again, don’t be afraid of [-], just in case, if the bandits in Liulinzhai find out, our village will suffer too.” Li Futian said in one breath Heap, every sentence is for the good of the Tong family.

"Uncle, don't worry, I understand all this, and I will tell the children." Yun Song nodded, "Uncle, I came today to ask, if we bought the house that our family lives in now , can it be done?"

"Do you want to buy that house? Well, your family has moved in for a while, and it looks pretty good. It's a bit difficult to buy this house, but it should be possible to do it with some money. Yunsong, this It’s not small money, your house has too many houses, and you get money according to the size of the house when you run it, and the village has to ask for some, otherwise I can’t say it, can’t stop everyone’s mouth?” The village chief After thinking about it for a while, he said, "It's about 200 taels of silver. In addition, there are benefits for the people in the county government. There are also travel expenses, food and accommodation for me to go to the county to do business. Can your family take it out?"

"Uncle, it's nothing, you can take care of it at ease, I will never forget your benefits." Yun Song and Fang Shi calculated it at home, and it was not much different from what Li Futian said.

"It seems that your family and this house are compatible. How long has it been since we separated? You can get 200 taels of silver. Okay, Yun Song, live a good life, and let those shallow-sighted people regret it. Go on. Raise these children well, don't let your father's reputation down." Li Futian followed Tong Shizheng's ass all day long. He was Tong Shizheng's little follower, and Tong Shizheng taught him how to read, so yes Tong Yunsong also loves her very much.

"Well, uncle, I will do a good job. By the way, my family took in someone, a distant relative of Yuxian's mother, who couldn't get along in the capital, and came to join us. It's not convenient for Yuxian's grandmother. Just here we are, if it’s convenient, give him a household registration, okay?” Yun Song thought of Yuan Qingyun.

"It's simple. I've done it for you this time. Your household registration has already been done. In this case, you have to take it back and add your relative's. Don't worry, I will definitely do these two things for you." Li Futian also planned to visit the county recently.

"Sure, then I'll leave this matter to Uncle. When the matter is finished, I will definitely thank Uncle. This is 220 taels of silver. Uncle will take it first. When I go out to do errands, I will bring more. The road is so far away. In case there is not enough money, Why don't you let uncle come back again?" Tong Yunsong took out a cloth bag, which contained silver.

"You don't need that much, let's do this. I'll come back and give you what's left." Li Futian smiled happily. Yun Song has done a good job in this matter.

"Okay, uncle, then I'll go back first, there is still some work at home." Yun Song said goodbye and went home.

Yuxian was thinking about how to eat corn at home. At this time, the cornmeal was very thick, and the pancakes made of it were a bit loud. Yuxian really couldn't eat it. She hadn't separated before, so she could only endure it.Now that the family is separated, and her mother is tormenting her again, can she not think of ways to improve? "Mother, can the mill in our village push water?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" Way replied, "When making sauce every year, I go to the mill to promote it."

"Oh, how about we soak some corn balls?" Yuxian wanted to cook something delicious.

"Okay, what are you going to toss about to eat? You just have a heart to eat." Fang said a bit, and then went to find two buckets, which were full of rubbish. "Yuxian, how much do you want to drink?"

"Mother, let's soak thirty catties, it's not worth it if it's less." Yu Xian thought for a while and said. "No, mother, you can soak sixty catties, divide it into two soaks, and keep half of it for a longer soak."

"Oh, then soak sixty catties, you greedy cat, what are you going to do this time?" Fang has long been accustomed to Yuxian's sudden and strange ideas, so she didn't ask at all, and just followed her daughter's instructions.This is also the reason why Fang loves her daughter, otherwise there is no sixty catties of grain, so she can soak it as soon as she says.

Yuxian plans to make ox tongue cakes and hair cakes.Fat cake can also be made with cornmeal, but it is too thick and not tasty at all.The corn dregs are soaked in water, and then pushed on the upper mill, the rolled out noodles are much finer, which is called water noodles.Put this kind of water noodles in a cloth bag to control the water, then roll them into balls, and put them outside to freeze. When you want to eat, you can take two balls back and cook them. This is neither bad nor wasteful.

The ballast was cured after soaking for a day, Yuxian left [-] catties untouched, and the other [-] catties went to the mill to grind into water face, and then put the pushed face in her pocket for control for a while.It is easy to control water in corn flour, unlike glutinous rice, it is difficult to control water.Seeing that the face was gone, Yuxian asked Fang to form a ball, put it outside and freeze half of it, and prepared the rest for food.

I took some noodles and put them in the basin, like leavening noodles, put a little old noodles, and knead the noodles with warm water.After the work is done, cover the curtain, cover with a small quilt, put it in a warm place, and let the dough ferment.In addition, make some face, add a little less white flour, then add water to make a thin paste, heat the pot, and then hold the pot and pour the paste down along the side of the pot.The paste will stick to the pot and flow down, forming a pancake with a small top and a big bottom. You can make several pancakes around the pot. When the bottom side is cooked, turn them over and bake them for a while. Tongue cakes are fine, because this thing slips down the side of the pot in a sticky way, so it is also called pot slipping.Fang mastered the technique after making a few, and became more and more proficient. After a while, a large stack of pots was put in the basin and slipped out.

Yuxian picked up one and took a bite.Hmm, not bad, very fragrant and tastes good.The noodles made in this way are very thin, which is really comfortable to eat.Take another bite and finish eating one in a while. "Mom, it's delicious, you can try it too."

Mrs. Fang is still baking, "Wait a minute, it's almost finished, let's eat it later. Let's eat it today."

"Mother, there is still steamed cake, and steamed cake will be made in a while. This thing can be put outside to freeze, and when you want to eat it, you can take it back and warm it up. It is very convenient." Fire spoon, bake pancakes, bake ox tongue cakes, make a lot of food.It seems that there are no such things here, Yuxian thought, I must get all these foods out.

After the ox tongue cake was baked, the noodles on the kang were also opened. Fang spread the drawer cloth on the pot curtain, then poured the contents of the basin directly on the drawer cloth, dipped his hands in water, and patted the noodles flat.Then cover the pot and heat up the fire in the stove pit. After the pot is opened for about three quarters of an hour, the cake will be cooked.Open the pot, the hair cake inside has grown so big, and a burst of fragrance comes out.Dip a knife in cold water, cut the cake into pieces, and take it out.

　The third shift is delivered, my dears, for the sake of Xueer's hard work in the third shift every day, can I give some pink encouragement?
