Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 65 Here Comes Big Trouble

Although it is impossible for Liu Tao to build a villa in Liangshan Port, she still has the intention of living by the sea in the future.

The two returned to Jin Mansion from Liangshan Port, but they met Zhang Sheng, Jin Yang's former guard. He once said that he had received severance pay and went home to farm, but for some reason he came to Jin Mansion again.

Zhang Sheng cried and said to the two: "The little one came home. Something happened at home when I went to the battlefield. My wife was followed by the local magistrate's brother on the street. She scolded him angrily and scolded him to get out of here." When we went out, that rogue old guy had the cheek to court his wife, and during the tearing, his wife stabbed him in the heart with scissors, and he died two days after returning home."

He wiped away his tears and gritted his teeth, then said: "His son brought a few servants to take revenge and beat his wife to death. One dead body and two dead. The wife's natal family and neighbors helped to take care of the funeral. I couldn't swallow it when I got home. With this tone, after drinking half a catty of wine a day to pay homage to his wife, I broke into his house at night and killed the bully's family. I beheaded all the servants except those who escaped. The magistrate reported to the superior, and now I am a fugitive... . . . "

Jin Yang also felt indignant about what happened to his family: "Sheng Zhang, you did the right thing. We sacrificed our lives for the country at the border, but our family was murdered for no reason. Even if you don't take revenge yourself, I will take revenge." I want you guys to take revenge. You can rest assured to live in my mansion, I have a chance to mention your facts to the First Prince, and let him cleanse you of your crimes..."

The overseas goods brought back from Liangshan Port by the caravan of my second cousin's husband are also displayed in the shops in Jinfu in the capital.Food can be tasted by customers. If a customer needs a large amount of goods, Huang Ying will give him an exquisite guide and introduce him to Jinfu to buy goods. If the customer needs a small amount, he can buy it directly at the counter. Walk.

If there is food that is about to go bad, it will be placed outside the door. No matter beggars or poor people, they can get it for free. Therefore, this shop is very popular. Many beggars sleep outside the shop when the weather is warm, and they will update the shop for free. .

Because the supply of Liutao's leather clothes was in short supply, Su Xiaoge and Dahu were sent to Shuangzi Mountain to buy furs. Because the finished products imported from overseas are all high-end, some fur clothes need to be matched with high and low materials. It is very popular, and there is an urgent need for a large number of lamb skins that died at birth or were deliberately killed at birth. Such skins are particularly light, soft and odorless, and the hair quality is also fine and thick.The third uncle has not been here since the delivery, because it is summer, and the skins of the prey in summer are the worst, and generally they are not collected. Only after the winter solstice, the animal skins have fluff to keep out the cold. Qiu's top grade.

They were sent this time because Jin Yang intended to cultivate the two of them. He traveled back and forth between the capital and the Northland several times and brought back a lot of critical information. Brother Su just played the role of an intermediary between the two parties and brought about a truce. .Dahu is a high-level spy. Because Dahu has no military status, the court only gave him a reward of 500 taels of silver. This time, Jin Yang gave the capital to the two of them. Jin Yang deliberately let them run alone like the third uncle, so that They are responsible for their own profits and losses, and after repaying the owner's capital, the remaining profits will all belong to them.

The rest of the Su family and the Ma family will follow his example in the future. Those who are willing to do business will pay the principal in advance, and those who are unwilling to go out and insist on working in the Jin Mansion will increase their wages year by year.These people have all helped the two start their businesses. At the beginning, the two had verbal promises to them, especially Su Xiaoge and Dahu, who were helpful to the entire country, and they should be rewarded.

By the way, Duo brought back some information about Qinglang Country and Xiaoyan Country, but there was nothing too important. He just said that he was the national teacher of Xiaoyan Country. In China, he has the final say on major affairs in the court, and the queen is just a decoration.

Brother Su is currently sitting in Shuangzi Mountain and only takes care of receiving the goods. Dahu has sent back the goods twice, and the quality is good. He plans to send back another car before the year, and then the two will come back together. The wedding ceremony is scheduled to be held on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.

When Liu Tao was in Shuangzi Mountain, she saw some sergeants eating horse feed for their horses when they had nothing to do, that is, black beans or corn kernels were fried and eaten as snacks.This reminded her of the popcorn in her previous life. There are several ways to make popcorn, such as hand-cranked old-fashioned high-pressure popcorn, Thai-style baked popcorn, and oil-popped popcorn. These only have baking and oil-popping can now be crafted.The fried one tastes better than the baked one.Liu Tao plans to use her own butter to make stir-fried popcorn, which tastes sweet and creamy.

At the beginning, I used an iron pan. Put the butter and sugar in first and then stir it while heating. The first time it was done, it was not bad, but the quality was not as good as it was once. It turned out that the iron pan is not a non-stick pan. The more you use the pan The more sticky the pond dregs at the bottom, the darker the color of the popcorn made, the appearance is horrible.

Jin Yang suggested using silver pots, even the pharmacies use silver pots, why can’t we use them to make popcorn to make money, isn’t it because the cost is higher?It's worth it for the money!He said to Liu Tao: "Don't say anything, I'll go to the silver shop to order now."

But Liu Tao put forward a request for the silver pot; the silver pot has a flat bottom, like an enamel jar, and it must have a matching lid. The rotating rudder is concentrically connected with the crank.Shaking the handle can drive the rotary rudder, but the pot cover cannot be lifted.In a word, the bottom of the pot cover is the rotating rudder, and the top of the pot cover is the crank handle, both of which are integrated with the pot cover.

Although Jin Yang thought it was quite difficult to make, but when he talked to the shopkeeper of the silverware shop, the shopkeeper said: "It's nothing, as long as you pay the wages in place, there is nothing you can't make!"

In this way, a total of [-] special pots for popcorn are in place. The production of popcorn can just consume their own butter. These butters are not recognized by anyone now. No one wants to sell high prices, and they are unwilling to deal with low prices. Consume with popcorn.

These fragrant and sweet popcorn, because they were launched years ago, are delicately packaged in thin oilcloth. This kind of handbag is slightly larger than the one for boots, and a cartoon bull head with a simple and honest face is printed on it with white paint. The tote bag on the outside is enough to catch the eye.When the popcorn arrives at the retail store, if the customer doesn’t buy a whole pack of four catties of popcorn, the shopkeepers can’t let the customer take away the handbag. If the customer buys less, they can only pack it in kraft paper for you. Buy a big bag instead of that bag.

If you bring such a whole bag of popcorn to give New Year's greetings to people during the Chinese New Year, it would be a face for Bel. Therefore, it was looted as soon as it went on the market. Rice cake.This popcorn pot can not only pop popcorn, but also can make rice, glutinous rice, and soybeans.

Another year is coming to an end, and the second cousin's husband's caravan stopped operating after he came back. He and his cousin went back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year, and the guys also went home for the time being.The unimportant positions of the Jinfu Workshop also had holidays in advance, such as dairy products, which are not allowed to have holidays. The two told them: "If there is no holiday this New Year's Day, the boss will pay three times the usual wages."

It was going to be dark every day, and finally the third uncle and eldest son Liu Gang brought two more carts of furs. After the old Zhao came to report, they hurried to the side door to pick them up.The third uncle's two-diagram cart stopped outside the door. Seeing the two people coming to meet them, the third uncle pulled Liu Gang over and said distressedly: "Jin Yang Liu Tao, I am sorry for causing you trouble. what……."

"What's wrong, third uncle, what's going on?"

The third uncle said to Liu Tao with a bitter face, "It's your grandparents, and Jin Yang's grandma, brother and sister-in-law are all here."

"Yeah, has Jin Sha married a new wife yet? What are they doing here and where are they?"

"Hey, I was still here just now. Later, when I heard that this is a side gate, I went to the gate. Now that they are noble, they don't bother to enter through the side gate."
