happy event

Chapter 102
Dong Rong nodded, then turned her head and motioned for Zhang Guanshi to take the record, and finally said seriously, "If the straw woven objects that everyone brings out in the future are all this exquisite or better, then the orchard is willing to pay for it. For example, this cup I can give you ten cash for the mat, fifty cash for the bookcase, and this..."

She counted all the way from the beginning to the end, even the straw grasshoppers were given a price of three pennies. Old man Shen and others listened carefully after holding back their joy.

Dong Rong also encouraged everyone to continue to innovate, and if anyone came up with something good, they would be rewarded with fifty coins alone.Upon hearing this, the crowd could no longer hold back their cheers, and finally hurried back to the village to report the good news to everyone.Seeing that old man Cao was dragging Yu Guisheng to discuss what new wooden utensils to add to the house, the old men at Yimianpo had no choice but to go up to talk to Dong Rong, "My wife, this straw woven item is indeed a good one. Make a living. If... if the folks in the village also learn this skill, will the orchard be harvested?"

When we first went to the village to resettle the refugees, the old men all helped out.The so-called reciprocation means that if they don't open their mouths, Dong Rong also plans to distribute this wealth to the villagers.But they took the initiative to ask, and it would be best if she returned the favor.

"The elders really upset me. They are all from the same village. How could I stop everyone from earning some oil and salt money. But the elders also know that these hired workers have suffered a disaster in their hometown and are now penniless. Going back to my hometown next year will be a problem, which is really pitiful.

If the folks don't mind, I can buy the orchard with their items. When they return to the hometown in spring, our folks have learned the craft, and I will buy as much as I can sell in the orchard by then.Even if you can't sell a few, the folks can still send them to the city, right? "

These words were in line with the wishes of the old men, and they were flattered, and they laughed almost immediately, "Zhuzi's wife is right, no matter how tight your family is, you are much better than these refugees. Let them go first Earn a lot of money, and everyone will follow suit and learn the craft."

Old man Cao walked over slowly at this moment, and greeted, "Brothers, let's go back, everyone is probably waiting."

Dong Rong and Zhu Zi sent the crowd to the gate of the orchard, and seeing a few old men walking away talking and laughing loudly, they turned and went back to Yu's house.Manager Zhang was wandering around the straw weaving all over the floor, and when he saw his master came back, he whispered excitedly, "Master, these things will definitely sell well when the orchard opens to welcome guests."

Dong Rong was also in a good mood, nodded and said, "When the time comes, find a few reliable people, be sure to check the barriers, and ensure the quality. In addition, let everyone make some bookcases and foldable laundry baskets in the next few days. Maybe business will come to you soon.”

Guanshi Zhang thought of Dong Ping in the academy, smiled knowingly, and praised, "The master is really wise, I will go to the academy tomorrow."

"Well, you go to the village to get busy first. I'll also make some food for Brother Ping."

When everything was arranged properly, everyone dispersed.Dong Rong and Sha Zhu went back to the top of the mountain, and Sha Zhu rolled up his sleeves to help chop the meat stuffing. Dong Rong scooped water to leaven the noodles, and planned to make some big buns with sauerkraut and pork. When Dong Ping was hungry after studying until midnight, he picked up a few Put it on the stove and bake it to eat.Of course, more fat should be put in the stuffing. If the fat turns into oil after roasting for a long time, it will definitely be a rare delicacy.

However, for the share given to Mr. Yang, Dong Rong had some troubles.After all, it is not good for the elderly to eat more fat, so it should be lighter.After thinking for a while, she began to wash the noodles and prepared to make some white jade tofu buns, which would definitely suit the old man's appetite.

After Sha Zhu finished chopping the minced meat, he came over to see his little daughter-in-law was washing the flour in cold water over and over again, her little hands were flushed from the cold, her eyes trembled from the pain, and she felt so jealous of her brother-in-law.But he couldn't stop him, so he could only angrily pull his daughter-in-law to the stove, and then stir the pot of noodle soup vigorously by himself.

The young couple walked, sat and slept in the same place all day long, and they knew each other very well, how could Dong Rong not guess his little thoughts.Although it was a bit funny, which woman would refuse her husband's love, she smiled and rubbed her hands while instructing Shazhu how to operate, and finally even ran behind him and hugged his waist.

The young couple whispered to each other while washing their faces absent-mindedly, and they had such an air of sweetness that lasted forever.

When the old lady climbed up out of breath, she ran over when she heard the movement in the kitchen from a distance.But when he saw the appearance of the young couple, he took two steps back, raised his voice slightly and said with a smile, "Boss, are you in the house?"

Dong Rong hurriedly gave away her arm, straightened her clothes in twos and then went out to greet her with a smile and asked, "Ma'am, why are you here? Could it be that something happened and I forgot to mention it?"

While talking, the two entered the room, and Dong Rong wanted to get some refreshments for the old lady, but Yu old lady stopped her from talking carefully.It turned out that just as Dong Rong and his wife left, the Chu family arrived.There is no other reason, the day after tomorrow is an auspicious day for marriage, and I want the Yu family to rush to marry the bride.

Farmers would try their best to be frugal when marrying a daughter-in-law, but at least they would prepare for it for ten and a half months. The Chu family's sudden proposal made it difficult for the old lady, mother and child.But when they thought of the reason why they moved to the orchard early, they understood. Presumably the Chu family also faced a lot of blank stares and ridicule in the village.

Yu Guisheng felt sorry for his unmarried daughter-in-law, and was afraid that his wife would not agree to a hasty marriage, so he was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.The old lady Yu had no choice but to go up the mountain to report. After all, the house belonged to the orchard, and they were going to get married and hold a banquet here, so it was due courtesy to notify the host in advance.

Naturally, Dong Rong would not stop her, but instead congratulated the old lady for marrying a daughter-in-law. It would be even more blessed to have a fat grandson in a year or two.

Old Madam Yu smiled when she heard that, and said, "Get off the blessing of my boss."

Dong Rong remembered that Guanshi Zhang would tell the old lady not to be polite when he came to the city tomorrow, and if he wanted to buy something, he would hurry up and go with him by car.If you don't have enough money, feel free to open your mouth. Finally, she went to the east room to get a simple plum blossom hairpin, put it on the old lady's hair with her own hands, and said with a smile, "This is the private house I secretly gave to my aunt. Now, let's also dress up brightly, so don't let your in-laws underestimate you."

The old lady Yu reached out to touch the hairpin, but she didn't take it off. Instead, she grabbed Dong Rong's hand and said in a low voice, "There is an old saying that kindness is more important than a mountain. Our Yu family has received too much kindness from the master. My wife, I It's not hypocritical anymore. Even if I kick my legs early to see Hades, my husband and wife will repay the master for the rest of their lives."

"Auntie, why are you being so polite to me? If you really want to tell the truth, I have to thank you for saving my life." Dong Rong didn't want the old lady to be sad, so she hurriedly talked about the details of the wedding ceremony. Sure enough, the old lady became happy again and said After a few words, I hurried down the mountain to make a fuss.

Soon the news that the Yu family was going to marry a new daughter-in-law spread to the village. Sister-in-law Liu, Zhao Qingshan and others got along very well with the mother and son of the Yu family these days, and Mei Hua'er was even more of the same clan as the Yu family, so they rushed to help Zhang Luo, for a while, the orchard and the foot of the mountain became lively again.

On the second day, Manager Zhang took Mei Hua'er and a few young daughters-in-law who had been bought by the old lady TOEFL in the city, and set off early. When they got to the gate of the city, they let them go shopping by themselves, and then went directly to the academy.

The weather has been cold in recent days. Mr. Yang is already old, so it is inevitable that he will be sick due to the wind and cold.Dong Pingping and his students got a little freedom.Everyone was gathering in Dongping's room to discuss a good poem, when suddenly the old concierge came to report that someone had come to visit.

Before Dong Ping could speak, all the students cheered.In such a weather, if friends get together and share some delicious food, it will be a rare enjoyment in the world.

Xizi took the lead and ran to the back door. Dong Ping was also worried about leaving home for a few days, so he asked his classmates to chase him away.

Zhang Guanshi stood outside the carriage, and when he saw his second son coming out, he also smiled happily.The two chatted a few gossips, and Zhang Guanshi took out the two tightly covered food boxes. Xizi heard that one of them was for Mr. Yang, so she hugged it carefully for fear of accidentally dropping it. .

Manager Zhang patted his little head, and then moved a bookcase and a laundry basket out of the car, and Dong Ping's eyes lit up immediately.He touched left and right to see, he really liked it very much.

Zhang Guanshi secretly talked about the family's plan, Dong Ping's mind is extremely clear from the experience now, and he can understand everything.So he smiled and asked Zhang Guanshi to send ten sets in three days, and he must not be disappointed.

After all, the academy has rules, and Dong Ping hurried back without daring to stay too long.

A group of scholars opened the food box, and saw that it was full of white and fat meat buns, and all of them instantly transformed into hungry wolves, howling and pounced on it.When such a strange sound came out, the little bookboys who passed by the door quickened their pace in shock.Beasts are infested here, so it is not suitable to stay for a long time.

Dong Ping was angry and funny, but when he was about to step forward, Xi Zi secretly grabbed the hem of his clothes.The kid took out a greased paper bag from the armhole, and there were four meat buns in it.Dong Ping smiled and patted his forehead, and then started to eat slowly.Xizi smirked twice and took out a bigger oil-paper bag from the other sleeve...

Everyone shared the buns while talking and laughing. Although everyone was only half full, they were also very happy. They all praised how ingenious the elder sister of the Dong family was, and finally lamented why such a good woman married so early. Woolen cloth.

In Dong Ping's heart, his elder sister is like a mother. Although he knew that his friend was not malicious, he didn't want his elder sister to be joked about by others, so he made an excuse to send them back to the study, and then he took the snack. Box to visit the sick Mr. Yang.

Mr. Yang has been studying all his life, and has developed a good habit of never leaving his book.At this moment, even though he was half leaning on the bed and coughing non-stop, he never put down the book in his hand, which caused Mrs. Yang to blame and persuade her non-stop.
