Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 116

Aunt also came to the capital, she came to see Liu Jiaojiao, Liu Jiaojiao had given birth and was confinement.When she came, because she was a relative from afar, of course the parents and in-laws had to call for a banquet.She looked at the resplendent Jin mansion, and at Jinsha's residence, and always felt psychologically unbalanced, even the meals of the two were not comparable.

But these are not things she can say, she can only sulk alone.Sometimes I tell my parents these words, and complain for Jinsha and Liu Jiaojiao, the reason is that they are brothers with the same milk, and they divide money too carefully, the younger brother eats meat, and the older brother even drinks soup no more.

Parents can only hum, they are quite satisfied with the happy life they have now, but they dare not pretend that everyone, Dong Weng, is taking advantage of Liu Tao's family. As for the quality of life of Liu Jiaojiao's family in Jinsha, They don't want to be annoying by talking too much.Especially Grandma Jinsha lives with them, and the two elders are also happy to see her not as good as themselves.

Liu Tao's grandparents are people who can show off. Although they don't touch porcelain now, they don't lack money in their pockets, because Liu Tao's father gives some from time to time. It was the faces of everyone in the entire Jin Mansion.They are still willing to go shopping in the capital. Sometimes they are tired and hungry after visiting the capital, so they go to a restaurant to enjoy four dishes and a pot of wine.On this day, the grandparents saw that Liu Jiaojiao had almost recovered, so they invited the aunt to visit the capital with the old couple.

One day two months ago, the old couple sat down again in a tavern. After the grandpa had finished eating, he said the food in this tavern was average, but the grandma said it was much better than other people's. Grandpa had no idea. I can only listen to her, if she says yes, then that's fine.So, they are regulars here.

With their personalities, even if a buddy recommends them to eat in the private room upstairs, they won't go there. Just kidding, going to the private room upstairs is like a night walk in brocade clothes. Who can see the good wine and good food? Isn't this deliberate ostentation for nothing?
There are still many refugees in the current capital. The refugees dare not enter the tavern under the urging of the restaurant staff. They just wait outside the door, waiting for the guests to leave after eating and drinking. They can't wait to rush in and snatch the leftovers of the guests.Grandma's personality has changed now, and she has become philanthropic. Every time she asks for a few more steamed buns here, and gives them to the poor waiting outside the door if she can't eat them, grandpa has seen her give steamed buns to the same tall middle-aged man many times. , but didn't think too much about it.

This time they walked around the whole morning and came to the tavern again. There were still refugees and beggars outside the door as usual. When the aunt saw the tall middle-aged man, she narrowed her eyes and frowned at him and yelled in confusion, " Little brother" two words.

Grandpa's heart skipped a beat. Her eldest daughter knew him. Needless to say, her mother also knew her. But why did she pretend not to know each other and gave him steamed buns many times?Besides, the phrase "little brother" was also mentioned to him by his second son back then. Could it be that this person is the mother and daughter?He looked back at his old woman, who was winking at her eldest daughter in a hurry, the meaning was self-evident.Looking at the tall middle-aged man, he walked away quickly without looking back.

Grandpa understood everything in his heart, but it was not good to have an attack at that time.In a complicated mood, I drank a few more cups while eating.When they were far away from the south of the city on the way home, the alcohol surged up, grabbed grandma's hair, and beat her on the head with Ruyi.The eldest daughter came up to pull him, and he also beat him severely a few times, scolding at the same time: "I make you stinky and shameless, I make you stinky and shameless...".

When the family saw them, grandma and aunt had a gash on their heads except for the blood bag. Grandpa didn't say anything about the reason, but grandma and aunt said behind his back that he was drunk and crazy.Grandma hasn't been to the city for half a year since then.

Zhao Zhong listened to Jin Yan's suggestion, and when the number of refugees was the most, he selected [-] young people among them, and assigned them to three piers, and they have been working for more than two months now.It turned out that there were eighteen people, but after inspection and screening, it was found that two had dirty hands and feet, one was lazy, and the other was irresponsible, so the four were dismissed for their wages on the grounds that they could not use so many people.

Of the remaining fourteen, there are ten boys and four girls, four of whom belong to two families.Two brothers surnamed Zhao, elder brother named Zhao Yue and younger brother named Zhao Xing, when they were begging at the pier, Zhao Zhong specially gave a steamed stuffed bun to the two brothers, although the two brothers were greedy for the steamed stuffed bun, but they pushed each other Rang Du said that he was not hungry and wanted to give the bun to the other party.Later, the elder brother decided to break the buns in half and gave half of the stuffing to the younger brother, but the younger brother said he didn't like the stuffing, so he grabbed half of the older brother and ate it instead.

Zhao Zhong was deeply moved when he saw it in the dark, so he invited the two brothers to work on the pier. Later, they recognized the family and their relationship became even better.

The other two girls are uncles and nephews of the family. Aunt Dong Qing is 19 years old and niece Dong Li is 16 years old.At that time, the two came to the capital together. Dong Li fell ill due to acclimatization and malnutrition. The two arrived at the pier for two days without asking for food.Dong Qing sat her down by the bridge to the east of Jinfu to rest, and wandered to Jinfu wharf begging alone hungry.Zhao Zhong also gave her half a steamed stuffed bun, and she was reluctant to take a bite, so she went to her niece with strength and lied that she had eaten it.

Dong Li didn't believe it, so she broke half of the bun and handed it to her, but she still refused.When going to the river to fetch water for Dong Li, she suddenly became dizzy and jumped into the water.Thanks to Zhao Zhong's constant attention to her every move, he immediately called for someone to pick her up, and a few onlookers came over to take a look, and she fainted because she was hungry.

The rest of the young people are also homeless. The boys are all educated in private schools and work on the pier for the time being. The girls are temporarily enriched in various workshops. From teaching Chinese and mathematics to Yuman every day, they will develop into management talent.

Now the stalls in Jinfu are getting bigger and bigger. Just when we are employing people, we need a lot of high-quality talents. A few days ago, Jiang Li's brother and neighbors came to see her. Jiang Li's brother Shitou is 20 years old, and the neighbor's brother Jiang Huan, It was Jiang Li's admirer a few years ago. Before Jiang Li was taken away, Jiang Huan launched a love offensive against Jiang Li, but Jiang Li was still ignorant of the things between men and women at that time, and had not had time To accept his love is to suffer.This time I was afraid that Jiang Li would be too far away from home and would suffer in an unfamiliar environment, so I took the time to visit her with Jiang Li's brother.

After Jin Yan questioned the two of them, knowing that both of them had studied in private schools for two years, and now they were working as farmers at home, he asked them if they would like to work in Jin's residence. agreed.Why not be able to earn money in Jinfu and see Jiang Li from time to time?

On this day, the messenger sent the good news that the talents who had been dug by the pirates were found. There are six people who are specialized in making glass, and the rest are family members.After they were dug up by pirates, they were wanted by the original factory owner and hid by the pirates together with their families.After breaking off contact with the pirates, there was no one to take care of her life, so she had to venture to the half-constructed factory to get in touch, and Luo Luo and Zhang Sheng saw it.On his own initiative, Zhang Sheng invited the six people and their families to settle them properly.

After Lu Run saw the letter brought by the carrier pigeon, Lu Run also decisively issued an order to Fan Tong who was about to set sail. He must promise them a high reward and send those people and their families to Liangshan Port immediately. Shi asked Zhang Sheng Luoluo to contact the governor for help.

And ask him to tell the governor: "If these people reach the country with your help, Jin Haodong's family will use the glass they made to make something called a telescope and give it to you. It’s clear, you can see moving or stationary objects close up...” In fact, Lu Run only heard about this thing from Jin Li, and he only knew it was made of glass, but he didn’t even know what it looked like. .

As soon as they left, Lu Run asked someone to clean the guest room, intending to arrange these talents to live in the backyard of the warehouse first, and let Jin Hao decide the rest.

Jin Yan happily told Liu Tao, and the two discussed where it would be better to make glass. Jin Yan said: "It's better to go to Yazui Port. Once the slopes are leveled, it is enough to build houses and factories.”

"Should I go to Shark Island to get the raw materials?"

"Yes, there are high-quality quartz stones and feldspars on Shark Island. Even the beach is covered with quartz sand. You only need to transport the alkali surface and fuel to start work. Qinglang Country produces alkali, and you can do it in Yajing Harbor. Buy in bulk."

"What about the house, where will Master Yang and his family live?"

"There are dozens of good houses on Shark Island. We let the crew number and demolish the various parts of the house like protecting ancient buildings, and then transport them back to assemble them. Isn't that getting twice the result with half the effort?"

"Does the alkaline noodles need to be purified again?"

"I don't quite understand this. I need to consult those foreign masters. However, I think it would be better to send Liumao and Xiaosi to the past. They all have the skill of making colored glaze, and they speak Raksha language relatively fluently, so it is easy to communicate with them. They communicate."

"Brother Jin Yang, I think we have to separate for a period of time again, will you have trouble leaving Yazui Port?"

"Other things are easier to talk about. It takes a lot of effort to produce large sheets of glass. The counters of our large shopping malls and the decoration of restaurants all require large sheets of flat glass. It is best for restaurants to have revolving tables with round glass bricks. That's what makes it look..."

"Well, there should also be glass bricks on the counter, because glass bricks are much thicker than ordinary glass, so they are not afraid of being bumped by ordinary hard objects, and the pan and alcohol block have to be prepared in advance..."

The two planned to arrive here, and immediately sent a letter asking Fan Tong to leave a boat to pick up the six new workers and their families, and recruited more than 30 craftsmen at Jinfu Wharf, and brought enough demolition tools, pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Yazui Harbor.

To go to the port is to go to the port, but they didn’t tell them the exact place to go. In addition, the night entered the sea from the river, and it also entered Yazui Harbor from night. When they arrived in Yazui Harbor, they didn’t know where they were. This is all Jin Yan deliberately asked Fan Tong to do this in order to keep it secret.
