Chapter 72: Life of the Villagers (3)
Zhang Datian began to get up as soon as it was dawn and got busy, stirring the half-person-high sauce jars neatly placed in the backyard one by one, opening them to dry, and then going to wash his face and change his clothes!
His brother Chen Yang had already gotten up, went to the vegetable field in front of him to pick vegetables, mixed a cold dish and put it on the table! There were already three or four pickled side dishes on the table, as well as salted duck eggs!
The people in the family have all gotten up one after another, and this year, no one can sleep lazy!
The steamed buns and rice porridge in the pot were already boiling rotten, and Chen Yang saw that the people had almost cleaned up, so he got out of the pot and brought the steamed buns to the table!
Zhang Er was the first to clean up, and he made a bowl full of white porridge and sat down on the table, "Brother Chen, why did you eat steamed buns and rice porridge today?
"Well, you've made a fortune! In the future, our family will be able to eat white rice and white noodles every day!" Chen Yang was obviously in a good mood, and he didn't mind revealing some news to the boys in the family!
"Really, great, can you eat eggs every day?" Zhang Er's heart was obviously not satisfied, and he took this opportunity to make a condition!
"Okay!" Zhang Da came over and slapped the back of Zhang Er's head, "Just your belly, what about eggs, giving you a chicken is not enough for you to stuff your teeth!"
"That's it, the second brother knows how to eat every day, and now he can't even count a hundred, it's a shame!" Zhang Si said disgustedly!
The five brothers of the Zhang family, Zhang Da 18, Zhang 2 and Zhang 3 are twins 15 this year, Zhang is 40 years old, and Zhang is 57 years old! Zhang Daqi's brother Chen Yang is 17 this year!
In fact, it is a family of children as adults, and it is very lively and jubilant every day!
"The soy sauce and vinegar silver that came out of the family last time has been settled, and a total of twenty-eight taels of silver have been settled!" Chen Yang glanced at Zhang Da and announced the good news with a smile!
"Wow! That's so much, that's great!"
The Zhang family is a criminal slave, and several of them were sent by the officials in the government to curry favor with Chen Chen, and when they came, they were only dressed in rags, not even shoes!
As soon as they came to the village, they were assigned to work everywhere! For three years, the family was a big man, all of them had big bellies, and although they earned a lot of food, there was not much left after they filled their stomachs, and after a few years, they saved more than one or two pieces of silver!
Chen Yang is a skilled person, so with this money, he returned to his old business and started soy sauce vinegar!
It's easy to say that vinegar can produce a batch in a few months, but people don't have to be jealous every day!
Soy sauce has to be dried well, the better the sun, the more fragrant the soy sauce will be, this first batch of soy sauce is to be sold to the canteen, Chen Yang has worked hard, dried for two years, a few days ago out of the tank to the steward, sure enough, it was sold at a good price, with this good start, the soy sauce in the future is definitely not cheap!
Because of the soy sauce, the family didn't raise any livestock, just the two small vegetable fields opened in front, and the vegetables could not be eaten openly in the past two years, Chen Yang was also worried, he was afraid that his hands would be born, if he didn't do it well, how could it be good!
Zhang Da is a wide heart, in his opinion, the life in the village is compared to the previous heaven and earth, this soy sauce can be made into the life of the family can be improved a lot, and if you can't do a few brothers work hard, you can't starve to death!
But fortunately, it was done in the end, and the steward said that the master was very satisfied with their soy sauce, and said that as long as they had goods in the future, they could send it to the canteen, and they would receive as much as they wanted!
So, in the past two days, Chen Yang has worked hard and added a lot of sauce jars, and the backyard is full of piles, this is the capital of their family to get rich in the future, there are four boys in the family, not to mention the daughter-in-law, this pressure is not ordinary!
"Brother Chen, then the eldest brother and you don't have to go to the village to work in the future?" Zhang Wu blinked his eyes and said in anticipation, he was alone at home before!
"Your eldest brother is not going! The sauce jar at home is inseparable from people!" Chen Yang said with a smile, "I said that I will help the village make soy sauce, and the shipment will be counted as our profit!"
"Really?" Zhang Er's limited brain capacity began to calculate frantically, how much is that?
"After Xiao Wu, let's go to the village school to study! with your fourth brother!" Zhang Da said with a smile, "I don't want you to study any university, you have to be able to read and count!"
"Got it, I'll study hard!" The school is composed of the shopkeeper and Mr. Chen Chen picked out from the people who bought it, a child is ten cents a month, meaning that you can come here to listen to the class by paying a fee, the ten cents is the wages of the gentlemen, this job is easy, they are also very attentive, targeted learning, now the children in the village do not say anything else, the arithmetic is excellent, fast and accurate, the family who does small business all take their children out with them, no one can bluff them!
Chen Yang calculated, according to the posture in the village, the amount of soy sauce is absolutely indispensable, and his own twenty percent profit will be a considerable number! I have to sigh, Master Jia is really kind-hearted, his craft has appeared, and people are not greedy, it stands to reason that he is a serf who is not the master's family, but he has a good master, a serf is better than the average farmer's family, and now the children of the family can also go to the school to study, this day is lived, no wonder many people outside have to invite themselves to be slaves, want to live in the village!
"Brother Chen, let's go to the cafeteria to change the chicken to eat! I heard Ergouzi say yesterday that there is roast chicken in the canteen today!" Zhang Erzi was ridiculed by Zhang Si as soon as he opened his mouth!
"The second brother is a pig's brain, and he can't do without food!"
"You have a good brain, then don't eat it!" Zhang Er raised the bar unconvinced!
"Okay!" Chen Yang thought for a while and agreed, "I told the lady of the Wang family that they killed the pig today, I asked for five catties of pork ribs and five catties of meat, and I originally said that I would buy a chicken to stew together, but it will be replaced by roast chicken! The roast chicken made in the canteen is very fragrant!"
"And stew!" Zhang Er screamed happily and smiled stupidly!
A few small ones also have bright eyes, and they can't afford not to eat meat seriously for almost a year, and they are hungry!
After breakfast, Zhang Er and Zhang San went to the greenhouse, they were responsible for the wheat in a shed, the wheat was about to grow at this time, Zhang San pinched a wheat grain to see, it was already a little hard, at most twenty days, this batch of wheat can be harvested!
"Second brother, when this batch of wheat is harvested, let's buy some and go back to eat!" Zhang San said calmly!
"Okay, didn't the person in charge say that we have the right to buy, can we buy two hundred catties of grain from our shed cheaply?" Zhang Er said indifferently, at that price, even white noodles don't cost much, although they haven't eaten much white noodles before!
"Well, go back and roll noodles for you to eat!" "The Zhang family is a northerner, and they like to eat pasta, especially Zhang San not only knows how to eat but also cooks, the noodles he rolled out are full of strength, with a spoonful of pork fried spicy noodles, oops, the fragrant Zhang Er's saliva is about to flow out!
"Okay, then let's buy more!Use all the indicators that were useless before!" Zhang Er immediately coaxed!
"How can I eat so much, my family will be rich in the future, and I will be able to change to new grain to eat every year!" Zhang San said with a smile, "Brother Chen is small, and the steamed buns in the morning are very empty, and I will make the noodles at home in the future, and it will be convenient to eat in the field in a few days!"
"Okay, when the time comes, you will make steamed buns to eat, I want pork and leeks!" Zhang Er immediately climbed down the pole!
"En!" Zhang San replied lightly!
