Chapter 14: Partnering with the Village Chief
In this era, there were already paper money, but the denomination was generally relatively large, and silver was still the main currency in circulation. In ancient times, prices were relatively cheap, such as wheat was seven wen a catty, white flour was twelve wen a catty, and a little worse was ten wen. Millet is ten wen a catty, and there are three grades of rice, fifteen wen and one catty for the first class, twelve wen for the second class, and eight wen for the third class.
The conversion method of silver is: one hundred wen is consistent, ten guan is one tael of silver, ten taels of silver can be exchanged for one tael of gold, and ten taels of gold is equal to a hundred taels of silver ticket.
In other words, the ten taels of silver that Aunt Xu gave them, they didn't do anything, and the family had enough food and drink for a year. So many, no wonder when Aunt Xu left, she repeatedly asked her not to send things back. Mu Zhen thought she was talking about the pork, but she didn't expect to leave them ten taels of silver.
He Laosan paused, and then said: "It's okay, a piece of the eldest mother's heart, you take it first, and we will return the favor later." When you go back, I'll give you the taels of silver, and you can keep them with you. ”
Hey, sure enough, I didn't see the wrong person, so proactive in handing over the financial power, "Well, okay then." When the money is in my hands, I will spend it by my temperament, and when the time comes, don't call me a loser. ”
"It's okay, you can spend it, it's a big deal that when I hunt in the future, I will keep more and sell it myself." He Laosan didn't care about what Mu Zhen was worried about.
He Laosan's words, Mu Zhen, who listened to it, was happy in her heart, and hurriedly gave He Laosan a few chopsticks and dishes.
"Xianggong, speaking of Aunt Xu, I remembered, last time I scared my mother with Dr. Xu, so we only had a few days of stable life, you said that I should only talk to Aunt Xu about the matter of that day, if it spreads from other people's mouths to their ears, it will be bad after all."
What comes out of other people's mouths is not a good word, Aunt Xu is very good, and Mu Zhen hopes to have a good relationship with them.
He Laosan thought for a while and said, "I won't go back at noon, take the time to go up the mountain to hunt a few wild animals, and you will come to the field next day, quietly send them to them, and go and explain to them in person." ”
Although Mu Zhen felt sorry for her father-in-law, there was only one way now, so she had to agree.
"The third child, now that you are blessed, your daughter-in-law has sent you all the food to the field."
The husband and wife were talking about family life, when they suddenly heard a voice coming from the can, and when they looked up, it turned out to be Sun Dafu, the village chief.
When He Laosan heard this, he laughed twice, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Fu, have you eaten?" If we haven't eaten it, let's eat some together, my daughter-in-law sent a big bucket of rice, and our family can't finish it. ”
The rumors in the village, the village chief also heard about it, and today he suddenly saw something different from the rumors, and the village chief was also very curious, so he sat down to eat together, and by the way, he saw what kind of person this third daughter-in-law was.
When Mu Zhen saw the village chief coming, she hurriedly rolled a dough cake for the village chief, and put a bowl of porridge next to her. "Uncle Fu, it's not delicious, you can just fill in your stomach."
Xiao Baozi also called obediently: "Hello Grandpa Fu, make it and eat it with us, my mother has made a lot." ”
After touching the head of the little bun, the village chief sat down unceremoniously.
Fortunately, Mu Zhen brought a surplus bowl of water for He Laosan to drink, otherwise the leader would have come and there would be nothing for others to eat, how embarrassing it would be.
When Sun Dafu heard Mu Zhen say this, he really thought it was not delicious, but he took a bite, hey, this third daughter-in-law, why is it not delicious? The sauerkraut is not sour, it is full of oil and water, spicy and fragrant, and it is clearly delicious.
As a result, the village chief had a plan in his heart. It seems that this third daughter-in-law is very practical and virtuous.
couldn't help but quip: "This third daughter-in-law, do your best to me, why is this delicious meal delicious?" Fortunately, I tasted it, otherwise I would have missed a delicious meal. ”
This leader is very good, no official tone, approachable, Mu Zhen begged for mercy again and again, and said: "Look at what Uncle Fu said, you have to like it, I will bring your meal next time." ”
His daughter-in-law was praised by others, and the third child was also very happy, and asked the village chief to eat more.
As a result, a small bucket of porridge, six cakes, and a bowl of sauerkraut with a bowl of meat foam were all solved.
When the four of them finished the meal that Mu Zhen took, the meal of the village chief's daughter-in-law was also delivered. The village chief's daughter-in-law is called Shui Ling'er, who is in her twenties and looks quite thoughtful.
When the village chief saw his daughter-in-law coming, he was not polite, and said: "Shui Ling'er, bring the meal here, I just ate the third child's meal, and the third family's family must not be full, just right, make up for it." ”
"Uncle Fu, we're full, let's not eat." Just someone else ate their own, and now they want to eat it back, what's so embarrassing? He Lao San waved his hand again and again.
"Hey, don't you know how much your kid eats? Mo and Uncle Fu are polite, I can't finish so many meals alone, I must have eaten them all in the house, and it would be a waste to take them back. ”
Mu Zhen saw that the village chief was indeed sincerely invited, and if she refused again, she couldn't say anything, and said, "Xianggong, or you can eat some more, and Yiqing and I won't eat it." ”
The two have been together for half a month, and He Laosan also knows that his daughter-in-law has not much to eat now, so he nodded and agreed.
"That's it, the three babies also eat some, half a pile, a rice warehouse, eat more to grow their bodies."
The life of the village chief's family is not only a little better than his own family, but in the early morning, people eat white rice, it is estimated that Xiao Baozi has never eaten it, and Mu Zhen is not shirking.
While eating, the village chief said to his daughter-in-law: "Shui Ling'er, although my father can't cook, my father can eat, you will have kung fu another day, learn more from the third daughter-in-law, the third daughter-in-law, the craftsmanship is better than yours." ”
Although the rumors in the village all say that Mu Zhen is a lazy woman, but her father's words are here, Shui Ling'er still responded with a smile, "Alas, okay, another day the daughter-in-law will go to study hard with Zhenniang." ”
He turned to Mu Zhen and said, "Zhen Niang, you can't dislike me when the time comes, I can count on your craftsmanship to please my father-in-law." ”
Shui Ling'er's words made everyone laugh, and Mu Zhen secretly had a plan in her heart. This is a cool person who doesn't have many crooked thoughts, and it seems that he still talks in front of his in-laws, which is worth dating.
After eating, Mu Zhen took the little bun and left with Shui Ling.
Mu Zhen has the heart to get close to the village chief's daughter-in-law, so she will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity to make friends, "Sister-in-law Shui Ling, don't you plan to grow more sugarcane this year?" Why is Uncle Fu alone in the field? ”
Shui Ling is the eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief, the village chief has two sons and a daughter, and the son said that he is a daughter-in-law, and his daughter is also married. Shui Ling is the daughter-in-law of the eldest Sun Gui.
Mu Zhen smiled and talked to herself, and Shui Ling didn't want to reply, "How can it, one or two in the house are wine baskets, and it is not enough for them to drink and sleep." Someone in Qianzhuang wants to build a new house and asks us to burn tiles. My family and my brother-in-law have been burning the kiln for the past two days, so my father-in-law has to do it first. ”
"Oh, I said, why is Uncle Fu in the field in the morning." It's no wonder that people eat white rice in the morning, it turns out that they have technology in their hands.
