Chapter 169: Craftsmanship
Coming out of the courtyard, Mo Xiaohe pondered, my cousin really wanted to open it, no matter when, money is the foundation of life, although in this era, women depend on men to survive, but also because there is a gap between them and men in physical strength, and they can't earn much money.

However, she hopes that Mo Daya can also develop a second spring, in the long years to come, there is a reliance, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and many occasions need to avoid taboos, such as childbirth, full moon wine, housewarming, etc., the people have a little pimple in their hearts, thinking that the widow is blessed and unlucky.
Li He and Feng Dachun both got the letter, estimated that the sun was about to set, the two of them went to the door together, carrying two pastries to the door, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang were busy working in the stove, and they were very restrained when they saw a stranger entering the door.
"Cousin, will the old couple live here in the future?"
Li He pulled Mo Xiaohe to the base of the wall and whispered, my cousin and brother-in-law live in the mountains, the town is just a temporary place to stay, and the second elder's body is not good, and it is a bit difficult for them to walk into the mountain for an hour.
"Yes, stay here."
Mo Xiaohe made up his mind, if he wanted to buy a yard for the Li family before, he had to implement it in advance, and in the future, his grandparents would move to the town, and there would be someone to talk to, which would be better than living in the village, so he would buy one nearby, and the two families would be close to each other, making it easy to move around.
"Don't take care of your godmother, your grandmother's temper ......"
Li He knew that he was troubled, but he couldn't help but mention it, Mo Xiaohe waved his hand indiscriminately, he said this, she knew that thinking of the old lady of the Mo family, Mo Xiaohe had a headache, her milk often had convulsions, and she made trouble from time to time, but fortunately, the clansmen moved to Yingchuan, not under her nose.
Speaking of which, the old lady of the Mo family is either a bad person, or a bit patriarchal, thinking that she is a village girl, and she is pampered by her father, and she has opinions about her.
"Eat, eat in the yard or go into the house?"
Uncle Zhang came out of the stove with a basin in his hand, which was boiled spiced peanuts and edamame with skin, full of Dengdeng, an appetizer with wine, eaten between summer and autumn, the most refreshing.
"Just put it in the yard, cool off."
Gu Zheng moved the dining table to the courtyard, Li He and Feng Dachun helped set up chairs, picked up dishes and chopsticks, Mo Xiaohe went to get wine, and soon, the meals were all together, and everyone sat together. "Cousin, Da Chun, this is Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, my husband's savior, and they will live with us in the future!"
Mo Xiaohe was busy introducing people, and said to Feng Dachun, "My husband and I sometimes go back to the mountains, Dachun, just rely on you to take care of you, you are both Dayue people, and your habits can be closer." Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang were already in her mouth, knowing Feng Dachun's past, and now seeing him honest and honest, she felt a little sorry for him, you come and go, you ask me to answer, the second elder saw that the people who came did not look down on them, and slowly became warm.
Once upon a time in the village, the Chinese New Year was also a meal for two people, how lively this person was, the smiles on the faces of Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang couldn't be stopped.
"Eat more, this is plum cabbage button meat, put a little sugar, in line with your taste."
Aunt Zhang found a pair of chopsticks that no one had used, stood up and picked up vegetables for a few people, Li He and Feng Dachun hurriedly thanked them, especially Li He, who was full of praise after eating.
"Be particular about choosing meat, and choose the most tender breast meat, fat and thin."
Uncle Zhang went out early in the morning to buy meat, and specially found the best piece, plum vegetables are dried vegetables brought from home, which does not account for the portion, and there is a big bag, and it can also be used to button the meat and turn it into a snack.
Mo Xiaohe doesn't like to eat fatty meat, when she first came over, she didn't often eat meat at home, she lacked oil and water, and the meat scraps could also be eaten deliciously, but the better the life was, those fatty and greasy meats would make her lose her appetite.
The plum cabbage button meat is different, there is not much fat, there are three layers of flowers, it melts in the mouth, the meat is fragrant, Zhang Damiang's craftsmanship is really a must!
"Aunt Zhang, how do plum vegetables and meat become dim sum? Do you eat sandwich bread? ”
Li He has already been captured by this dish and has become a curious baby. He observed Feng Dachun in the rest of his eyes, and when he saw Feng Dachun nodding frequently, he also asked questions.
"The sandwich cake is also delicious, make a meat sandwich bun, but what I'm talking about is the plum vegetable button pork baked cake."
It is made into a bite-sized piece, with plum vegetables and fine ham inside, with a crispy outer skin and a large filling inside, and the taste is naturally needless to mention.
Aunt Zhang used to go to the small workshop to help, help make baked cakes, and change a few copper plates. Just because there was nothing to bake at home, and there was no good ham, she hadn't made it for many years. "This is good!"
As a foodie, Mo Xiaohe's eyes lit up, on the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, Mo Xiaohe was ready to make moon cakes, and she had just set the mold, and she could try it out immediately, she was trying to go to the county with her husband to buy good ham.
"Aunt Zhang, when are you going to do it, remember to ask me for help, I can light the fire."
Li He is very dog-legged, and he only knows now that the tin box that his cousin wants has several uses, and he wants to rub something delicious. He grew up in the village since he was a child, and the farthest place he has been to is the county seat, and he is quite interested in the folk customs and food of Dayue.
The guests enjoyed the meal, Li He and Feng Dachun helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, cleaned the courtyard again, and left very late.
In two days, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang have adapted to life in Dawu, the old couple always get up early, clean the yard first, and then go to the market to buy vegetables, although the vegetables can be bought for two or three pennies, but it is only enough for one meal.
For this reason, Aunt Zhang is very distressed, she used to grow vegetables in the village, never spent money, she discussed with Uncle Zhang, opened up a small vegetable field in the backyard, and made a white fence, a bit of a pastoral feeling.
"Husband, let's not look at the shop, we won't be able to meet the right one for a while." Mo Xiaohe wanted to buy a shop, but she had no choice but to buy a shop, with a large flow of people, good business, and some rented out, she wanted to buy it, but the other party didn't agree at all, the shop was a golden rooster, and it would lay eggs every year, and it was not cost-effective to buy and sell it at one time.
"Well, let's take a look at the small courtyard of the two entrances, I contacted the Chinese people to help introduce them."
The advantage of having a Chinese person is that you don't have to run errands with your own family, and you can help with the buying and selling procedures, so that the two parties save time and effort, and you should pay the Chinese person a benefit fee.
There are a lot of two-way houses in the town, and there are small families living in relatively wealthy families, and there are two rows of houses in front and back, and there are more rooms. Mo Xiaohe calculated the population, and once he entered the courtyard, he couldn't accommodate so many people in the Li family. Grandfather, grandmother, uncle and aunt, cousin will have a cousin and sister-in-law in the future, and after cousin Li Xiu gets married, her mother's family will have to set aside a room.
In the next morning, a local Chinese surnamed Qin came to the door, there is a courtyard that is more suitable, small two entering, only one hundred and fifty taels of silver, a price.
"The location in the west of the city is good, why is it only ten hundred and fifty taels? It can't be a murderous house, right? ”
Mo Xiaohe felt incredible, she and Gu Zheng's yards were above one hundred taels, only one entry, two courtyards of one hundred and fifty taels, if it wasn't in disrepair, there must be something wrong with it.
The ancients were superstitious and valued feng shui the most, no matter how low the price of the murderous house is, no one will buy it, and a murderous house, the surrounding neighbors are unlucky, and they can't even sell the house with them, and they can't move away if they want to.
"Hey, how is it possible, our town is so big, just ask, the murderous house can't hide it!"
It was hot, Qin Zhongren was sweating profusely, and his fat body was blocked at the door, and Aunt Zhang saw that it was not easy for him, so she gave him a bowl of water to quench his thirst.
"It's not a secret, this price is really cheap, but the people in the town have houses, and small families want to buy them, and they can't afford one hundred and fifty taels, and the people have to cash to save the emergency."
Qin Zhongren opened the conversation box and talked endlessly, "My old Qin is famous, and he won't fool people, let's have one to say one, and two to say." ”
Under normal circumstances, the two small courtyards should be between one hundred and eighty taels and two hundred taels, and it depends on the location, the location in the west of the city is good, and two hundred taels is not expensive.
The owner of the house was too anxious, so he sold at a loss, and the people of Qin Zhong calculated that if he had silver, he would buy it first, and then within a month or two, he would slowly find a customer and make the difference, dozens of taels! The other party asked for cash, but he couldn't get enough money, so he had to give up this plan.
"The landlord's son is not angry, he lost money in the gambling hall, and he has to sell the house to pay off the debt, otherwise those people will chop their hands, alas, do evil!"
Qin Zhongren sighed again and again, he wanted to do business on the one hand, and he really didn't want to see someone tortured by that group of people, "When you buy a yard, you are also accumulating virtue and doing good." ”
It's not a murderous house, Mo Xiaohe is a little relieved, she and Gu Zheng followed Qin Zhongren to see the house, which was better than she imagined.
There are vines planted on the courtyard wall, which is very elegant, and the house is a brick house, some years, but the tiles are very new, and they should be replaced in summer.
There is no one in the yard anymore, I heard that the owner of the house took the family to the countryside for refuge, and temporarily entrusted the house to the people of Qinzhong, there are wells in the courtyard, there are two jujube trees, the jujubes have turned red, and they can be beaten down in a few days.
"The furniture is not sent, and what can be sold, the homeowner has sold."
Qin Zhongren scratched his head, he was also very surprised when he checked, in the stove room, there was not even a pair of dishes and chopsticks, I thought that there was silver to afford a yard, and it was not bad for three melons and two dates, and it was not very comfortable to use second-hand goods used by others.
"None of that."
The walls of the house are dusted, need to be repainted, the rest of the Korean paper has holes, you have to repair and replace it yourself, the house sits in the north and faces south, the layout is reasonable, there is no problem in lighting, one hundred and fifteen taels of silver, cost-effective.
"Husband, do we need to ask my cousin to take a look?"
In this courtyard, when the mother-in-law Li is filial to her mother's family, the names of her grandfather and grandmother are written on the house deed, and it doesn't seem to be good to cut first and then play, Mo Xiaohe decided to drag her cousin Li He into the water as an accomplice.
"It's fine."
Gu Zheng's stereotyped face did not have any expression, like a stone statue, but in the depths of his deep eyes, there was a little smile, and he immediately saw through his mother's careful thinking and stood up to support.
Li He was receiving guests in the shop, and was pulled into the carriage by Gu Zheng and kidnapped him, he was confused and confused.
"Cousin, what are you looking for me for?"
Li He was dizzy, and after a long time with a suddenly realized expression, he whispered, "Do you want to buy a warehouse?" ”
Mo Xiaohe still has two carts of things, nowhere to put them, stored in the empty house of the blacksmith shop, I heard that the things are very valuable, Li He is cautious, he is afraid of being robbed at night, and puts several big locks on the door, if his cousin can buy the warehouse, he will be relieved.
