Chapter 25: Good Fortune
A mortar, slowly chiseled with a large whole stone. It resembles a huge wine cup, with a diameter of about 80 centimeters. A large stone mortar usually takes four middle-aged men to lift it. There are gong patterns in the mortar, and the body of the mortar must be buried in the ground, and the mortar mouth is exposed to the ground, and some ceramic cylinders are flattened around it to facilitate cleaning. On the top of the mortar, there is a "succulent body" made of a large tree segment, and there is a pole and pestle under the head, and the mouth of the rod is pressed with teeth.
There are also modern rice tools next door, Song Ma went straight to the rice tools, Song Xiaoyue was more interested in the traditional rice tools.
Song Ma and Liu Yong took turns to make rice, from morning to noon, before turning the two bags of rice into white rice.
..............
The three of them pulled the white rice and walked home, and the eldest sister had already prepared the meal!
Song Xiaoyue hurriedly stepped forward to help the eldest sister set the table and serve the dishes, today's dishes are still rare. There is pork bone soup, fat sausage, husband and wife lung slices, stewed pork belly with pepper, spicy fried pork liver, braised pork knuckle, braised pork, dry stir-fried green beans, cucumbers, sour bamboo shoots. Even Song Xiaoyue secretly swallowed her saliva when she saw today's good dishes.
After setting up the meal, seeing that the sky was almost dark, Song Xiaoyue went to the homestead to call the villagers who were working back for dinner!
Since the last time they ate the pig made by the eldest sister at Song Xiaoyue's house, those villagers have quietly asked their mother-in-law to make it a few times, but they don't have the same taste as the eldest sister. Today, when I saw a table full of pigs in the water, braised pork and the like, I already secreted a lot of saliva in my mouth!
When you can start moving, you can finally eat the delicious food that you have been coveting for a long time, and all the fatigue is swept away!
Song Xiaoyue's family basically entertains such a good meal every day, and the villagers naturally work hard, and they rarely even hear complaints!
It took three days to build the foundation of Song Xiaoyue's house before the 20,000 foundation stones were built.
When the evening was over, Song Xiaoyue's family prepared good dishes to treat the villagers. In addition to good dishes, there is also white rice. This is remarkable, fifty or sixty people need about 60 catties of white rice for a meal! Song Xiaoyue also prepared a jar of 10 catties of good rice wine for each table, which provoked those big old men to almost jump out of their stomachs!
After those villagers had eaten and drunk enough, Song Xiaoyue announced that she would suspend a day as a rest, and start work on time a day later, and those villagers applauded!
When she went to bed at night, Song Xiaoyue was used to walking around in the space, and generously sprinkled some rice to feed the chickens, ducks and geese, who basically ate small insects on the grass to fill their stomachs these days.
Song Xiaoyue wandered to the hill again, and found that those fruit trees were full of fruits, all kinds, but they were not ripe yet, and it didn't take long for Song Xiaoyue to have a new income!
The peach trees next to the bamboo house have bloomed again, the seedlings in the field have grown two or three centimeters, and the greens in the vegetable field have grown green and can be cut and sold. And the ginseng is full of aura, and the old ginseng is surrounded by a cloud of lilac, which is very magical! And the fish, shrimp and crabs in the fish pond are even more gratifying, everywhere, even if you put your hand into the fish pond, you can catch a fish, and you can step on a crab if you step on it.
Song Xiaoyue looked at all this she had, and her eyes had already automatically scanned the silver converted into white flowers, looking like a little rich man.
Song Xiaoyue whistled and decided to go to the bookstore to have a look!
Gently opened the bamboo door, found a travelogue and walked on the rocking chair to read it slowly, it was not bad, this was the first book she came to this world to read. This book is written about some strange things in the past, and it is said that it is fantastical, but I don't know if it is true or false, Song Xiaoyue plans to go out in a few years to experience the general, do a small business, and taste the food of various places, of course, she doesn't want to fall in love at all, after all, she doesn't have the leisure now.
After reading the travelogue quickly, Song Xiaoyue put the book back on the shelf, but accidentally dropped a book on the ground. Bent down, picked up the book, and casually scanned the title, it turned out to be a book for knitting sweaters.
Song Xiaoyue felt incredible, opened the book and saw that the preface on the first page of the book reads:
My surname is Su Jinxiu, I like to knit sweaters since I can remember, and I am familiar with hundreds of knitting methods, but I feel that there are still weaving methods in the world that I don't understand.
After living for 58 years, I have learned no less than 100 techniques, but I still can't be satisfied. I always feel that there is still an embroidery method that I can't do in this world, and every time I think of this, I can't eat and sleep!
One night, I was in a dream to a magical place, where people can weave a unique kind of thread, I was ecstatic, but I could not communicate with the embroidery girl there, in the dream, I actually wandered in that place for three years, before I was fortunate to learn this "unique skill!"
Until I woke up from the dream, the scene in the dream, those skills were still vivid and vivid!
In order to avoid forgetting, I didn't sleep for seven days before writing down this book, which was named "Sweater Record"
。 Seven days and seven nights of sleeplessness, exhausted my whole body of blood, this "embroidery I can no longer go to learn through the study, I only hope that my "sweater record" can have a person who loves embroidery to understand it and carry it forward, so that the splendid can also die blind!
After reading the preface, I turned to the back and looked at it, it was full of some stitching skills of this "crochet", and the sky was falling, and Song Xiaoyue was dazzled and foggy. This book is simply a hypnosis book, I almost fell asleep when I looked at it! Song Xiaoyue had no choice but to share this book, she didn't know how to embroider, and it was useless to read it, so it was better not to read it!
It turned out that this "Sweater Record" was a kind of embroidery method that a girl named Jinxiu dreamed of, and she herself wrote for seven days and seven nights to finish this book, and after writing it, she died!
The eldest sister loves knitting sweaters so much, it is better to give this book to the eldest sister to see if she can understand this "crochet" thoroughly, and it depends on her creation. If the eldest sister can really learn this "crochet", then in this era, the eldest sister is the founder of "crochet"!
Song Xiaoyue took this "Sweater Record" and walked out of the space.
Seeing that the light in the eldest sister's room was still on, he took the "Sweater Record" and knocked on the door of the eldest sister's room.
"Big sister, I'll give you a gift, I hope you can like it!"
Song Xiaoyue handed the book to Song Xing, Song Xing took it and looked at it, and was stupid with joy!
In the morning, Song Xiaoyue stretched her waist and walked out of the door, the daylily in the yard was cleaning the pigsty in the pigsty, and when she saw Song Xiaoyue getting up, she hurriedly said hello: "Little master, morning!"
"Morning! daylily!" After Song Xiaoyue finished speaking, she took her towel and went to wash! After washing, she habitually went into the kitchen to greet the eldest sister, but found that the busy person in the kitchen was Song's mother.
"Hey, Mother Song, why are you the eldest sister?"
"I saw your eldest sister with two dark circles under her eyes just now, I guess she didn't sleep well last night, so I let her go into the room to sleep for a while, do you have something to do with your eldest sister?"
"No, just ask curiously. ”
The eldest sister can't sleep well! Who are you fooling? I didn't sleep at all last night! I must have stayed up all night reading that "Sweater Record"! Hehe! When I saw the stupid appearance of the eldest sister last night, I expected that there would be such a result today!
"Grandma, I see that there is not much firewood in the firewood room, anyway, there is nothing to do today, why don't you all go to Wushan to pick up some firewood and come back!"
"That's fine! Recently, the family has built a house, and a lot of firewood is needed every day, so I will drive the ox cart to pick up more and come back!"
"Okay! I'll go and tell Uncle Liu that they're going! Mother Song, what about Uncle Liu?"
Song Xiaoyue didn't see Liu Yong and Li Danian in the courtyard, so she had to ask Song's mother!
"Your Uncle Liu went out early in the morning to cut the horse grass and hasn't come back yet! Your Uncle Li is fiddling with the wood behind the house! He also told me early this morning that there is some wood that can be used to make some furniture, but he is now short of carpentry tools and can't sit down! Your Uncle Huang is cleaning the thatched house in the backyard, and the housekeeper is on the construction site with Xiao Feng!"
"Oh! I know!" Song Xiaoyue finished speaking and went to the back of the house to find Li Danian, who was picking out some wood to put in one place. Seeing that Song Xiaoyue hurriedly straightened up and said hello, Song Xiaoyue also said hello to him!
"Uncle Li, what are you busy with?"
"Oh, little master, that's right! Last time I went to Kiriyama, I cut some good wood that can be used to make furniture, but it's a pity, I don't have carpentry tools now, so I can't do it!"
Li Danian looked a little regretful, mixed with some complicated expectations!
"Uncle Li, do you like carpentry?"
"Yes, little master! Your Uncle Li has liked to do carpentry work since he was a child, and he has also learned the craft from a teacher, and he even opened a carpentry shop when he was young! It's a pity that ......."
Li Danian remembered some of the past, and he was a little embarrassed!
"That's it! Uncle Li, next time I go to town, I'll buy a set of carpentry tools and give it to you! Don't suffer from gains and losses, let's be optimistic! Look ahead! Life will definitely be better than before! You will not suffer if you follow me, believe me!"
Song Xiaoyue is rare to be so emotional! Considerately comforted Li Danian!
"Little master, will you really buy me a set of carpentry tools?
Li Danian thought about it, but he still didn't dare to have too much hope!
"Uncle Li, you still can't believe me! Although I'm not a big husband, I'm also true to my word!"
Song Xiaoyue made a promise to Li Danian, so she almost knelt on the ground and swore to the sky!
Li Danian was a little embarrassed by what Song Xiaoyue said! Scratched his head in embarrassment, and looked at Song Xiaoyue gratefully.
"Let's go back for breakfast, Uncle Li, after breakfast, let's go to Wushan to pick up some firewood and come back!"
"Let's go, little master!"
After saying that, the master and servant went home one after the other!
When Song Xiaoyue and Li Danian returned to the door, Liu Yong came back with a load full of green grass, and the three of them entered the door together!
The master and servant of the family gathered around a table to eat breakfast, everyone talked and laughed, and the relationship was harmonious like a family!
Liu Yong: When they first came, they couldn't believe their ears when they heard Song Xiaoyue asking them to eat together, how could a servant dare to eat with his master in this era. Later, it was Song Xiaoyue who gave an order, ordering them to eat with their master in the future, so they dared to go to the dinner table.
At the beginning, I was very restrained, and I didn't dare to clip the dishes, but after getting along with Song Xiaoyue and them for a long time, I slowly relaxed. It's really that Song Xiaoyue's family is very easy-going, and they don't like to put on a show, although they are called master and servant, but her family treats them like relatives. Whatever her family eats, they also eat, and not long after they arrived, the eldest lady made two sets of new clothes for each of them. This kind of master is really very good, how can they find such a master! There is also the little master Song Xiaoyue, although she is not very old, but she is in charge of this family, and she is making this family better and better! The little master is the backbone of this family, and they report everything to the little master!
After breakfast, they brought some dry food and water, and some tools, and rode away in an ox cart to the Foggy Mountains!
The eldest sister still stayed at home, her father and younger brother were in private school, and the rest went to Wushan!
The ox cart stopped at the foot of the mountain, and the oxen naturally led it up!
Eight people walked along the winding mountain road to the halfway up the mountainside, where the woods were dense and the firewood was naturally the most!
Liu Yong and Huang San took firewood knives to cut down the trees that had dried up, and the housekeeper and Xiao Feng were responsible for picking up these branches in a pile. Li Danian searched all over the mountains and fields for good wood that could be used for furniture, and Song Ma and daylily were in the woods picking up the small branches that fell into the ground. Song Xiaoyue is naturally looking for business opportunities everywhere, and she herself feels that she has fallen into the eyes of money!
Song Xiaoyue walked into a dense forest, surrounded by silence and lifelessness.
Song Xiaoyue didn't realize the danger at all, and walked over humming a little song while bouncing around.
Suddenly, my feet couldn't move anymore, and I didn't dare to sing the little song anymore, my eyes looked at everything in front of me in horror, and my brain died temporarily!
Ahead, a blind bear and a big wild boar were fighting, and suddenly saw Song Xiaoyue break into their battlefield, and suddenly turned enemies into friends, and rushed towards Song Xiaoyue together!
Song Xiaoyue watched the two huge figures getting closer and closer, but she couldn't move her legs or open her mouth, and she saw that she was about to become a delicacy in their mouths!
Song Xiaoyue, who hid in the space, almost didn't pee her pants, at this time, touching the clothes on her back, it was cold, and she was already soaked with sweat! It's so dangerous! I almost lost my life, Bodhisattva bless!
Song Xiaoyue drank a stomach of spring water next to the spiritual spring to suppress the shock, and stayed in the space for a long time, estimating that the two beasts were gone, took out a firewood knife from the bamboo house, and walked out of the space nervously!
The blind bear and the big wild boar were both lying on the ground, and several big blood holes on their bodies were still bleeding out, and they were already out of breath!
Song Xiaoyue clenched the firewood knife with both hands and boldly stepped forward to check the situation. Seeing that the blind bear and the big wild boar were not dead, he raised the firewood knife, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, and slashed at the dying bear blind big boar, and felt that they were dead thoroughly before stopping!
Looking at the two huge corpses in front of her, Song Xiaoyue still had palpitations! She just stared at it for a while before she remembered to find the adult.
Song Xiaoyue trotted back the same way, Song Ma and they (they) were looking for her all over the world.
"Don't look for it, I'm here! Everyone come with me, don't worry about the firewood yet! There's something good in front!
After Song Xiaoyue finished speaking, she took the lead in the front, and Liu Yong and the others hurriedly followed!
When I saw the blind bear and the big boar lying on the ground, they all looked incredulous. Song Xiaoyue added oil and vinegar to depict the thrilling situation at that time, half-truths and half-falsehoods, and everyone also followed the story she made up for a while to scream again and again, and then to be surprised.
Li Danian cut down a few big trees and made a simple plank, and everyone worked together to put the blind bear and the big boar on the plank, tied them with ropes, and put them on the cow's body!
At this time, they didn't care about the firewood they had just picked up, and everyone drove the oxen and carried the blind bear and the big wild boar down the mountain!
The village is boiling again, and the luck of the Song family is really good! If you go up the mountain to collect some firewood, you can pick up a blind bear and a wild boar.
After wrapping the blind bear and the wild boar and putting them in the carriage, Song Xiaoyue arranged for Huang San and Xiao Feng to go to Wushan again to bring the firewood back, and called Liu Yong and Li Danian to go to Ping'an Town to sell the bear blind man and the wild boar!
Song Xiaoyue naturally drove the carriage to the restaurant, and when the boss saw Song Xiaoyue at this time, he naturally knew that something good had happened!
When he saw the goods on Song Xiaoyue's carriage, his mouth was so open that he could stuff a goose egg!
"Little girl, you ......"
"Boss, this is what we hunted in the Foggy Mountains this morning!
"Okay! Little brother, you go in first and wait! I'll go find someone who can call the shots right away! Who's going to make tea!"
The boss walked away like a gust of wind! Soon, the chubby boss came over!
"Boss Lin, let's meet again!" Song Xiaoyue made a gesture to the boss!
"Little girl, meet again!" the boss smiled, but his eyes sparkled, this old fox!
"Little girl, what do you think of this wild boar?"
The boss went straight to the point, Song Xiaoyue liked his cheerfulness, this wild thing is not more expensive than a domestic one!
"Or three dollars a pound. ”
"This bear is blind! Naturally, it's more expensive! I've calculated that I can give you five yuan a catty, what do you think?"
"It's still the boss who is happy! Then I don't need to talk too much!
Song Xiaoyue is a bit lazy in her bones, so she doesn't like to reduce prices.
