Living in the mountains and forests as hunters

Chapter 82

"I always thought it would be so difficult to make these! It doesn't look like much trouble now, it's almost the same as making clothes, but one is smaller, more delicate, and the other is bigger. It’s just about the stitches, what can’t be done, my mother will take over the job, it costs five cents a piece! Making twenty pieces in a month is worth a hundred coins, enough to buy rice for a month, Dani! You give mother some more cloth, and mother will go back and make a practice hand. As long as it is still good, it will be very fast. When the time comes, let the son-in-law help sell it, and your brother can eat a few more bites."

"Hey, by the way, mother, look at these flowers, from here to here. This one is embroidered like this. This one is knotted like this. And here."

Zhao Yiyi simply sat down, and told Zhao Qian the secrets of the small embroidery he did most often, and gave Zhao Qian a set of embroidery stretchers, and said with a smile:
"The first time I did it, I didn't even embroider a single pattern. The auntie in the embroidery workshop in the county town taught me a few hands, and then I slowly started to do these small embroidery jobs. People said that as long as the clothes are made well, Stitching is absolutely passable. Knowing a little trick, it’s not difficult to do this. Mother, I can do it well. As long as you have this skill, I’m afraid that it won’t take long for you to earn more than me.”

Without making a sound, Zhao Yiyi filled up the loopholes in her own embroidery, at least made up for Zhao Qianshi, and made Zhao Qianshi listen very comfortably, without any hesitation, happy said:
"It's also your blessing. With your ability, you can learn some ways to make money from anywhere. This is enough for my mother, so I can't waste your thoughts in vain. Don't worry, it's only my mother's ability. , Who doesn't know that he is a skillful hand, if he can't do this well, mother will have no face to face others, one month, just one month, she will definitely come up with something that is absolutely passable."

Zhao Qian happily started to pack the parcels, and packed up the things given by her daughter. After packing, she suddenly thought of other things, turned her head and said to Zhao Yiyi:
"One more thing, Danny, you can give me some seeds, that is, your potatoes, pumpkins, these things are really hungry, these can be used as food, and those vegetables are also good to eat , Forget it, let’s put it this way, look, do you have any leftover seeds here, if you have, then give me some, and I will plant them all, not to mention selling them for money, at least eat more Yes, it’s good to give it away, so that other people in the village can try something new.”

After she planted the loofah last time, several neighbors came over to eat it for a while. After a while, the seeds left behind by her family made these people go away, so that she doesn't know the next time. How did you plant it? Fortunately, she knows that since this girl can take it out once, there must be more. I don't want to come here a few times, but I just watched the new dishes here a few times. There are so many!She couldn't help but grow some, especially those that can be used as food. If the things that are so easy to store are planted, she won't have to worry about not being able to eat for a while in winter!

"Sure, I'll bring it to you in a while, and keep it in the cave on the top of the mountain. Have you chosen how many you want? I still have three or four hundred seeds here!"

"Oh, that's it! Let me think about it."

The two women were talking, when suddenly there was a shout at the door, it was An Dalang's voice, which made Zhao Yiyi very surprised, although An Dalang said that people are living a lot now, he has long since lost his dullness , he looks not good at words, but he has never lost his composure like this before. What happened this time?
With such thoughts in mind, Zhao Yiyi walked to the door with a few strides, and looked outside. At this time, An Dalang had already entered the courtyard door with his two children, and was striding towards the stairs.

Not caring about the ignorant faces of the children carrying the baskets on their backs, Zhao Yiyi quickly went downstairs and asked An Dalang:
"What's wrong with you? What's the matter? It's like this?"

At this time, it was Zhao Qian who followed Zhao Yiyi to the door, looking at his son-in-law suspiciously, An Dalang saw that his mother-in-law had regained some sense of sobriety, hurriedly said hello, and said loudly:

"A good thing, a big good thing! Our family, Dahu's family can have good things!"

Hearing that it was a good thing for everyone, Mrs. Zhao Qian also became interested, and hurriedly followed downstairs, ready to listen to her son-in-law, while Zhao Yiyi pulled An Dalang into the middle hall Literally:
"Someone came into the house and said, Dabao, Erbao, quickly put down your things and go to the house to rest. After walking for a long time, you must be exhausted."

In the house, Zhao Yiyi poured a glass of water for An Dalang, handed it to him, sat down and asked:

"What's the matter? What's the matter?"

"Cai Butou told me today that the imperial court has issued some new laws. Anyway, it is an order related to the land. I can't explain the big ones. Just one thing. The imperial court seems to have conducted a general survey of the land and felt that there are too many. It is a pity that the land without food was abandoned after the war in the previous dynasty. However, the population is insufficient now. In order to increase taxes, the imperial court ordered the people to reclaim wasteland. Money, and there has been no tax for three years, daughter-in-law, Cai Butou said, mountainous land can also be regarded as wasteland, if we mountain people who have no land on the mountain can also report some fields and acres, in the future that land can be directly entered into the government office The land booklets from the land can be bought and sold after three years of enthronement. Do you think this is a good thing? The land beside the small river at the foot of the mountain is still flat, and there are not many trees. It is not easy to get three to five acres? It’s also possible to grow vegetables and food, and we don’t have to pay taxes for three years, so we can become a family with land. Although this mountain is my hunting ground, everyone in the mountain knows it, but it’s not like this in the yamen , this place in the yamen is still unowned land. If someone buys it one day, we will have nothing to do, but if we have a field! This is different, isn't it, and our house, we have a field Cai Tutou can do some tricks, set up a household for Dabao and Erbao, and count this place as a small village. In that way, this mountain is the property of the village, so it can't be bought and sold casually. Doesn't this mean that the mountain Has it really become our own? This house of ours can also be used as a homestead, and then draw a few pieces of land and surround a yard. It will be the homestead of Dabao and Erbao. In this way, the village will become ? Ah, also, Duhu, he can also open up a few acres of land. As long as it is opened, we will help pay for a few taels of silver. In this way, he will have a lot of more fields! Do you think it is a good thing? Son?"

The more An Dalang talked, the more excited he was, and Zhao Yiyi was also very happy when he heard it. As a modern person who lives with a real estate certificate, he is actually quite sensitive about the land certificate. Belonging to a black family, it's not that I haven't been worried, but this matter is not their family's business. Seeing so many mountain people, she can only say nothing in her heart. This time is good, and it will happen all at once. The solution is here, how could you not like it? She knows that with a village, the mountain cannot be sold casually. Even in modern society, if you want to contract a mountain, you need the consent of the nearby villagers, let alone here. , for mountain people, the mountains near the village are the basis of survival. Such a dynasty that has been born for less than a hundred years, presumably would not commit such a taboo and want to support it, let alone break this tradition.

Zhao Yiyi didn't have time to say anything here, Zhao Qianshi on the other side got excited, sat on the side and patted his thigh and said:

"It's really a good thing! Our family only has two acres of land. I always feel that it is a little less, but there are few fields in the mountains, so I can't say anything. Now the mountains can be counted as land. Isn't that a good thing? Our family is far away from the land. With the back mountain near, there is always enough to open two acres. With these two acres, even if we only grow vegetables, no, just grow that potato, our family is enough to eat, oh, Dani! Sure enough, they all said You are a blessed child! You and your husband are a match made in heaven, and your family business is prosperous, which brings us all together! This is the time to prepare for the consummation of your house, and such a good thing happened. Sure enough, God did not lie. No, I have to go back quickly, Dalang! Has this matter spread? If it hasn’t been spread out, I will open the land first. If it starts to spread, I will also be a good person and go back and talk to the village chief. By the way, On the other side of the small river, I see that there are still some flat places, and you can open a few more acres, anyway, it can be counted as acres of land, so let’s talk about it first, even if you can’t grow food, it’s good to be able to grow vegetables, after all, it’s a family business! "

Zhao Qian's face was full of joy, she couldn't sit still, she just wanted to hurry back, but fortunately she still knew how to give her son-in-law's family more advice, and she didn't forget her duty as an elder.

An Dalang nodded after hearing this, and kept saying:

"Yes, you are still thoughtful. I will put in more effort. After a few days of hard work, our family will have a fortune. Go quickly. Catcher Cai said that this matter will probably happen in two days today and tomorrow." If the word spread, you can just talk to Uncle Liang, so that he will remember your affection. I am also going to talk to Uncle Lin and the brothers from the Wu family. My family has become a village, and I have a land deed to ensure the livelihood of my descendants in the future!"

An Dalang's face was still blushing at this time, it can be seen that he was happy all the way, and the excitement has not passed at this moment, he took Zhao Yiyi's hand and kept saying:
"Our cave can also be counted as the land deed, and the hot springs can also be counted. In this way, although our family may spend more this time, we can feel at ease in the end. Even if someone wants it in the future, we can't just get it. Although no one would be interested in this ravine, but it can make me feel at ease!"

He was so busy talking, he didn't notice that Zhao Qian's family hadn't left yet, seeing him pulling Zhao Yiyi closer, he couldn't help but chuckled, making Zhao Yiyi's face turn red when he noticed this scene, He pulled his hand back vigorously.

At this time Zhao Qian interrupted and said:
"Okay, today is a good day for you to consummate your house. I have said what I should say, and I have done what I should do. I will go back now. You should live a good life in the future!"

After saying this, she turned around and left, leaving only two people who blushed and felt a little embarrassed at each other after hearing this, and two children who had turned around cleverly and returned to their own rooms.
