Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 54 Divided into
Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu didn't know what to say at this time, so they kept silent and listened quietly.

"I came here today to confirm whether the heated kang is really useful. If possible, I hope to spread the heated kang to the entire Furong County as soon as possible. If possible, in the future, more people in the north of my court may be able to get it." Benefits, no longer lose your life because of the cold weather."

Speaking of this, Mr. Zhang looked a little ashamed and unnatural, "I know that this heated kang was conceived by you, and you can completely sell it to a knowledgeable businessman to earn a lot of money and improve your life, especially your second son." He is still my wife's savior, I really shouldn't... just for the people of a county, and even more people in my dynasty, I still have to have the audacity to come to the door and ask for it in person."

Mr. Zhang got up again, and said to them solemnly: "I am willing to take out my salary as a token of my heart, and I hope you two can allow me to promote this heated kang in the county. Of course, when it is really confirmed that the heated kang is really useful Afterwards, I will report to you and try my best to get some more for you." But no matter how much you try to fight, it will definitely not be as much as the money they got from selling them in private.

Although Yun Jinghao had met the county magistrate from a distance, he never thought that the other party could abandon his identity and plead in such a tone when facing them two ordinary people, and his heart was inevitably moved.

Thinking back to when he was young, the house of the Yun family was not as old as it is now, and the winter was not very warm, and he was not valued by the family, and the jacket he wore in winter was not very thick, and he often shivered from the cold , the hands and feet were frostbitten, and the conditions of the family were pretty good at that time. Wouldn’t it be more difficult for other poor families to live in winter?

Yun Jinghao said without hesitation: "If you want to promote the heated kang to benefit more people, just do it. We don't have any objections. The craftsmen we hired when we built the house have already learned how to build the heated kang. You just go to them. OK."

Mr. Zhang was overjoyed, "Are you really willing to let me spread the kang?"

"Naturally, it is a blessing for the people that you are so considerate of the people."

"Great kindness!" Mr. Zhang looked at Yun Jinghao with a particularly kind gaze, "It's good that you can understand my intention, and I assure you that you will not be missing the credit for this kang!"

……

After sending Master Zhang away, the two returned to a warmer room and sat on the hot kang, with a small kang table in the middle, with two plates of dried paws and a pot of tea on it.

Luo Jinxiu had just eaten two dried fruits when Yun Jinghao held her hand, looked up strangely, but found that Yun Jinghao's face was tense, seemed a little nervous?

"what happened?"

Yun Jinghao showed shame, rubbed the back of her hand lightly, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, just now, I shouldn't have agreed to Mr. Zhang without your consent."

She was the one who came up with the heated kang. In any case, other people should get her consent before using it, instead of making their own decisions and generously offering others.

Luo Jinxiu suddenly smiled, "What am I supposed to do? We are husband and wife, why do we need to apologize between husband and wife, and you are still talking to me? Besides, didn't I object? If I don't If you are willing, I will interrupt you at that time."

"But..." Yun Jinghao frowned.

"Back when I let those craftsmen learn how to build a heated kang, didn't I write a letter with them to keep them secret and not allow them to build it for other people's homes? It's because I never thought that only our family would use this heated kang." Luo Jinxiu put the dried fruit on him In his hand, he said 'Peel me', and seeing him honestly help him peel, he smiled with satisfaction and continued: "As Mr. Zhang said, if the kang can be popularized, only as many people can benefit from it." Quite a few."

"When facing the members of the Yun family, in order not to let them take advantage of them, we always say that we have no money, but we are really short of money, even if we don't want to make a living in the future, we still have thousands of taels of silver left, which is enough for us to nourish It's been many years, and I don't want money, I have some good things that people have to spend a lot of money to use." She hasn't narrowed down to that.

In this backward ancient times, there was no heating, no geothermal, no electricity, and the heated kang could really save lives in the cold winter, and there were many ways to make money, so there was no need to calculate it on the premise that you were not really short of money. .

"What's more, if we really disagree, the county magistrate may not give up." Luo Jinxiu said meaningfully.

Yun Jinghao was silent.

Indeed, he, who is considered to be more experienced than ordinary people, knows this very well.

Perhaps Mr. Zhang is indeed a good official who cares for the people, but it is also because of this that he will not give up easily when he learns that there are such good things. If he is not soft, he will use some tough methods.

It is true that they are kind to Mrs. Zhang, but it concerns more people, and Master Zhang also has his own selfish intentions, such as improving political performance or something.

Luo Jinxiu threw Yun Jinghao's peeled dried fruit into his mouth, and sighed: "Small people like us, in front of officials, knowing current affairs is very important."

Otherwise, if she is really targeted by the county magistrate, she is really not sure that she will be able to escape unscathed.

Yun Jinghao threw away the dried fruit shell in his hand, held her hand firmly again, and promised word by word: "Don't worry, with me here, no one can hurt you."

Luo Jinxiu was shocked by his resolute tone and unwavering eyes, her face also uncontrollably heated up, she looked away unnaturally and coughed twice, "Well, I almost forgot, you In the past, he was even more powerful than this Lord Zhang."

"I will protect you."

"Well, I got it, okay, let's not talk about this, continue peeling, I want more." Luo Jinxiu quickly changed the subject, and it would be really embarrassing to continue talking, I really didn't expect someone who usually doesn't talk much to suddenly express It would be so unbearable to think about it.

The truth from the heart is much more exciting than those words that are not practiced.

……

In the evening, Luo Jinxiu saw that the sky was getting dark outside, and she yawned under the blanket, not wanting to move. She glanced at Yun Jinghao who was cleaning his bow and arrows, and asked, "What are we going to eat tonight? It's really cold out." Love to move."

Yun Jinghao said, "I can make some simple pasta, and I'll make it tonight?"

Luo Jinxiu thought for a while, and was about to say, "Why don't you just try it?", but suddenly a flash of inspiration came to her mind, "Forget it, let me do it! It's best to eat hot pot in this cold weather! Why didn't I think of it! "It just so happens that there is still a piece of meat that hasn't been eaten at home, and there are still a few wild boar bones left, potatoes, cabbage, mushrooms, and other vegetables, and you can make a hot pot meal!

"Hot pot? What's that?" Yun Jinghao looked bewildered.

"It's also a kind of food, especially suitable for winter, and it doesn't take too much effort to make." The more she said, the more interested Luo Jinxiu became, and the coat on the boat directly dragged Yun Jinghao to the kitchen.

The most troublesome part of making hot pot at home is nothing more than the main soup. There is no chicken at home, so bone broth is used for the low soup, and some dried chilies and other seasonings are put in it, and then the fragrant dipping sauce is prepared. The rest is to slice potatoes , wash the vegetables, let Yun Jinghao cut the meat as thin as possible, and basically everything is ready.

Finally, hot pot needs to be eaten while walking. There is no special electrical appliance such as an induction cooker, so we can only temporarily set up a brazier in the house, put the pot on it, and add some fire from time to time.

In less than half an hour, the hot hot pot is ready to eat. Yun Jinghao also feels that this kind of fresh meat and vegetables are very fresh. After the meat and a dish in the pot are cooked, give them to Luo Jinxiu picked up a large plate, and then ate up the rest of the pot in twos and threes.

Luo Jinxiu had long been used to his big appetite, so she wasn't surprised, and immediately put another pot, and when the pot boiled, she would pick it up for her first, and then eat by herself.

There are enough ingredients prepared, one is eating hot pot for the first time, the other has not eaten for a long time, and in the end they all ate until their stomachs swelled, and they were so full that they could hardly walk.

Luo Jinxiu took his hand and put it on her stomach, asking her to rub it for herself, and then said: "It happens that the family doesn't have much income recently, and it's also suitable to eat hot pot in winter, why don't you sell the hot pot recipe to shopkeeper Lu."

Yun Jinghao carefully kneaded her stomach, and hummed, "It's all up to you."

The seller was for Baiweiju, and the two of them were familiar with each other. Luo Jinxiu's idea was the same as before, which was a one-shot deal, but this time shopkeeper Lu obviously had other ideas.

"Split?" Luo Jinxiu looked at Yun Jinghao who came back from the town with a surprised face, "Is that what the shopkeeper Lu said? He offered to give us the money for the hot pot?"

"Yes." Yun Jinghao was also very puzzled, "He said that he can give us [-]% of the price of the hot pot, or [-]% of the net income."

Luo Jinxiu was just about to say, 'he took the wrong medicine', but after a change of mind, he quickly guessed what Shopkeeper Lu was thinking, rubbed his chin and chuckled: "It seems that Shopkeeper Lu is very optimistic about us."

Once the hot pot is settled according to the sharing method, they and Baiweiju will be involved. It's not just a one-shot deal, it's as simple as paying for both money and goods.

Yun Jinghao looked at her intently, knowing very well in his heart that it was not them that shopkeeper Lu was looking for, but her mind.

The daughter-in-law is too powerful, and he, as a husband, is inevitably under pressure. Maybe he should also think about how to earn more money to subsidize the family. It is not easy to rely on his wife to support him.

"Since shopkeeper Lu has handed over the olive branch, we have no reason not to accept it. The share is divided. Anyway, it is beneficial and harmless to us, and we can have a long-term income." They actually have enough money now.

The next day, the couple went to the town together to finalize the split. In the end, Luo Jinxiu chose as long as [-]% of the net income. According to the daily turnover of Baiweiju, and the predictable hot pot in winter The degree of popularity here is really a lot.
