After Ming Yuge every ten days, will send Hua Jin to share the silver, the goods are still so much, the silver is more and more, before the income of only one hundred and ten taels of silver per month has made Hua Jin feel satisfied, now there are tens of thousands of taels of silver income every month, see more, Hua Jin is numb.
Soon after the beginning of autumn, the weather began to get colder, although there is not much arable land in Lijia Village, but there is still land, the people in the village make soap, the crops in the field are harvested, and not long after the crops are collected, the yamen will come to collect the grain tax, when the Huajin sisters and brothers split the family, they did not get a piece of land, and then Huajin has money, so they bought a small piece, after all, there is arable land to be regarded as a farmer! This land she planted for Aunt Osmanthus's family, to say that Aunt Osmanthus is also a very hard-working person, although the family is now making soap, the work of farming, has not been left behind.
After paying the grain tax, the temperature in Lijia Village also cooled down, and the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived.
"Miss, where are we spending the Mid-Autumn Festival this year?" Mama Rong saw that the festival was about to be celebrated, so she came over to ask, even if the family is separated, such a festival still has to be spent together, but the relationship between the Hua Jin sisters and brothers is not good-looking, but it is just passable on the face, since the last time I borrowed money, the old lady Hua always said bad things about the Hua Jin sisters and brothers outside, and the people in the village did not have the same knowledge as her, but there were also those who smelled like, and they were very jealous of Hua Jin's ability, and they also followed.
There are not many people like this, and they don't have a particularly big impact on the reputation of the Hua Jin sisters and brothers, and both of them are still young, and most people love the sisters and brothers more.
Hearing Mama Rong ask, Hua Jin frowned, "You prepare gifts, and the money, I'll take Xiao Gong over in the morning, and let's celebrate the festival by ourselves in the evening!"
Seeing that winter is coming, Hua Jin has enough money in his hand, and he originally planned to leave after the spring is warm next year, but there is still half a year to go, Hua Jin is too lazy to chatter, the family is the most insatiable, even if they really want to stay for the holiday, people are not welcome!
"Yes, Miss!" Mama Rong, who has always been the most disciplined, did not persuade the two sisters and brothers to go to the Hua family for the holiday, and she didn't want the Hua Jin sisters and brothers to be wronged.
"That's it, anyway, there isn't much time left, after my father's anniversary, let's get ready to go, the foundation of the little gong is almost laid, after moving to Jiangnan, find him a master, let him study seriously!"
Mama Rong nodded, looking forward to moving to Jiangnan, even more looking forward to it, there is no such bitter cold, let alone difficult relatives, when you get there, everything really starts again!
"Miss, the noodles are reconciled, can you take a look?" It's about the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Hibiscus is given the important task of making moon cakes, which are also available in this era, but the method is not as delicate as in modern times.
Hua Jin wanted to make a snowy skin moon cake before, but after he finished speaking, he saw Furong with a puzzled face, what is the difference between it and the mung bean glutinous rice cake made before?
Hua Jin thought about it carefully, it seems that there is no difference except for the different fillings, but Hua Jin said that he wanted to do it, and Furong was obedient and made some out, but he was familiar with it, but ordinary moon cakes and Hibiscus would not, Hua Jin had no experience, but fortunately, Mama Rong knew a little bit before, studied it, and also made a recipe that was almost inseparable, let Furong try it today.
"I don't understand this, Mama Rong, you go and take a look, if you can't make it, just buy some!" Because the moon cake crust is oiled, this moon cake is really not something that ordinary people can afford, if Aunt Osmanthus and Aunt Lanxiang can make it, they don't have to study it themselves.
Rong Mama ran over and looked at Furong He's face, reached out and pressed it, "It should be about the same, let's try it!"
I don't know if Rong Mama has a good memory or what, the moon cakes made by Furong in the end turned out to be decent, Furong cut the moon cakes into small pieces and gave them to Hua Jin, Hua Jin took a bite, and the taste was not bad, "Yes, Fu Rong will make a little more, it is estimated that the people in the village will give gifts again in two days, let's wrap two moon cakes as a return gift!"
After the Dragon Boat Festival, Hua Jin also knew what the people of Lijia Village would do, so he prepared some in advance this time. Sure enough, when there were still two or three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was a knock on the door in the small courtyard of Huajin and Huaqiang, and the people in the village sent a lot of festival gifts.
"Sister-in-law Xu sent two pairs of satin embroidered shoes over, not to mention the handiwork, this material is really good, and the life of the people in the village is getting better and better!"
"That's not what I said, I went out a few days ago, and I heard that several families in the village want to build a new house before the winter comes, if it weren't for the young lady to share the recipe with them, how could they have a good life now, and I am naturally grateful to the young lady. Holly said with a smile.
Hua Jin glared at the two of them, "It's a lot, don't say it outside, when our sister and brother are the most down, if it weren't for the people in the village to help and take care of them, where can we survive, people are kind to us, we have to repay it!" Hua Jin is a person with clear grievances, and she will repay those who are good to her.
"Hehe, remember the lesson of the young lady, don't dare again!" Holly just said casually, after following Huajin for a long time, people are not like before, although they just live in such a small courtyard, it is unprecedented comfort.
Others give gifts to Huajin, Huajin is naturally a gift, each family has prepared two moon cakes, a piece of soap, as for Aunt Lanxiang and Aunt Osmanthus, because they went recently, and helped Huajin to make soap, they replaced the soap with hydrosol, and the people who received it were very satisfied.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Hua Jin and Hua Cheng personally went to Hua's house to give gifts, because it was a festival, there were many people in the family, and when they saw the two of them, Li Shi, who opened the door, said angrily, "You still remember your surname Hua!"
"Uncle Niang's words are strange, I and Xiao Gong are naturally surnamed Hua, otherwise we won't see the filial piety money sent every month, grandma doesn't accept it!" Hua Jin said politely, I don't know who to satirize, I really don't treat their sisters and brothers as a family, don't ask for the money they sent, I don't understand why there are always people who want to set up a memorial arch when they are a watch, who has been deceived!
"You ......" where can the Li family stand this anger, and he still remembers in his heart that Hua Jin does not borrow money, and he is going to beat Hua Jin when he raises his hand......
PS: Let's talk about the currency exchange ratio, one tael of gold = ten taels of silver, one tael of silver = consistent money or one hanging money = a thousand copper plates. When I saw someone asking how much essential oil was, I remembered that I didn't say this.
