Chapter 65 Into the City and to the Grave

As soon as these words came out, even Liao Wenqing, who claimed to be calm, couldn't help but show a look of surprise again!

Although Poria cocos ointment has a good effect, it is only a tonic after all, and it is biased towards women's use, so sales are naturally limited. Such a prescription, he originally proposed five or five points, the Lin family lady agreed without even hesitating, and now this healing medicine, he once again proposed fifty-five points, in fact, he also made preparations in his heart, if Lin Niangzi is not satisfied, he can still let the benefits be divided, Huichun Hall and the Lin family four or six points, because, the healing medicine is just a springboard, Liao Wenqing really means the supply of medicinal materials for the army, that is a big piece of meat. What if you can eat that piece of fat in your mouth, and make a profit on the healing medicine? In comparison, this profit can be exchanged for ten or even a hundred times the profit!

Qiu Chen was not surprised by Liao Wenqing's surprise, his expression was still calm, and he once again threw out a big condition: "My Lin family is in charge of pharmaceuticals, and Huichun Hall only needs to provide raw medicinal materials and transportation and sales!" ”

If Qiu Chen took the initiative to give up a profit just now, Liao Wenqing was just surprised, and after listening to Qiu Chen's words, Liao Wenqing was really moved.

What does it mean for the Lin family to make her own medicine? It means that the formula of the healing medicine will be kept secret from the Liao family.

If you can't get the formula, it's like the Lin family pinching the Liao family's neck all the time, and if there is any disagreement between the two families, the Lin family can withdraw at any time. If it was just a healing medicine, if the Liao family had already obtained the military's medicinal material supply business with this healing medicine, and the Lin family withdrew again, wouldn't it have trapped the Liao family entirely? In other words, it is tantamount to the Lin family holding the Liao family's life and death!

Not to mention that Liao Wenqing is a scheming person, he is not willing to put his neck in the palm of someone else's hand, and he may be asked for his life anytime and anywhere!

Even if it is as deep as Liao Wenqing, he almost refused to shoot the case!

However, he is Liao Wenqing after all, so he is not so impulsive and reckless!

After calming down his mood, Liao Wenqing smiled and said: "Lin Niangzi said this, you may not know something, once the healing medicine is made this time, the dosage will definitely not be small, Lin Niangzi will handle it alone, and I am afraid that I will be powerless at that time." Huichun Tang and Lin Niangzi partner to make medicine, if Lin Niangzi is tired because of this, wouldn't it be my Liao San's sin? ”

Liao Wenqing is turning a corner and saying that the Lin family is not capable of taking over the pharmaceutical work!

Qiu Chen didn't care at all, and still smiled lightly: "Since I said so, I naturally have some considerations. I don't know where the amount of use can be as big as the young owner said? Is 100 bottles a day enough? A hundred bottles is not enough, what about two hundred bottles, three hundred bottles? Hehe, to put it mildly, as long as there is no problem with the supply of raw medicinal materials in the Rejuvenation Hall, the pharmaceutical matter, the young owner can rest assured, and it will definitely not be able to drag the Rejuvenation Hall back! ”

If she needs to refine and refine complex processes, she can't be so easy, but what is the healing medicine, but it is just ground into a fine powder - mixed - and it is done! As long as the crushing speed is increased in the processing process, the raw materials can keep up, and Qiu Chen can prepare hundreds of catties a day for him! Not scared at all!

But Qiu Chen seemed to be a very simple matter, but Liao Wenqing still looked a little unbelievable.

The Liao family has been operating the Rejuvenation Hall for more than 100 years, and he is naturally familiar with the medicine of gunpowder, although the Liao family is not good at external medicine, but some ordinary healing medicine is prepared Liao Wenqing still knows.

Healing medicine is not a one-way medicine, it is often made of more than a dozen flavors and dozens of flavored herbs. Each herb is carefully concocted, then ground into a fine powder, and blended according to the needs of the recipe. Step by step, even with the power of his rejuvenation hall, he didn't dare to say that the daily medicine reached hundreds of bottles, but Lin Niangzi dared to boast like this.

Where does her self-confidence come from?

Could it be that she wants the medicinal herbs to be concocted? That's impossible, who knows that the concocted medicinal materials are also part of the secret of the formula, since Lin Niangzi wants to keep the prescription unrevealed, the concocted medicinal materials should definitely not fake others!

Seeing that Liao Wenqing was silent, Qiu Chen didn't care what he thought, but he didn't want to spend so much time with him anymore, and said lightly: "Lin Family Pharmaceutical, four or six points, these two are the premise of cooperation, if the young owner can't decide for a while, then ask the young owner to go back and think about it again!" ”

When he got up, he opened his mouth directly!

At this time, Qiu Chen was really not in a hurry about the healing medicine.

With the food, the courtyard wall and the house built, and dozens of taels of silver left in his hand, Qiu Chen was not in a hurry to sell the formula in his hand. Moreover, she has several jihua at the moment--

For example, planting lotus roots;

For example, fish farming;

For example, planting roses and honeysuckles along the backyard;

For example, making soap and shower gel;

For example, in order to make wind oil essence and mosquito repellent coils in the coming summer......

It's really a pile, it's enough for her to be busy for a while.

The phrase "shopping malls are like battlefields" is really good, in the process of contract negotiation, one party must lose the initiative in eagerness, and the dispensable party can be said to have won the time and people. In addition, Qiu Chen is 100% home...... If so, under the elimination of one and the other, as the party that has lost the initiative, Liao Wenqing actually has only one ending - retreating step by step, losing the city and ceding the land!

Liao Wenqing has never experienced being swept away, at this time, he has always been as calm as he is embarrassed, let's go, unwilling! Don't go, your face is spicy, and you can't sit still!

Just as he was hesitating, Qiu Chen spoke again: "I just said that it was a matter of healing medicine, as for the things used to clean the wound, please come back in five days, and at that time, I will give it to the young owner!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Liao Wenqing's eyes lit up, and the embarrassment on his face was swept away!

Lin Niangzi just has a straightforward personality and doesn't dislike him!

As for the Lin family pharmaceutical--"Lin Niangzi said that the pharmaceutical is indeed not reluctant?" Liao Wenqing confirmed again.

Qiu Chen smiled and said, "If you don't have that diamond diamond, you won't do that porcelain work." I can't do it, I can't force it, don't I do it myself! As he spoke, he gave Liao Wenqing an unceremonious glance.

This eye waved, but in Liao Wenqing's eyes, he was so amazing that he almost shook his head again!

Liao Wenqing was unabashedly despised, but at this moment, he was suddenly refreshed and full of comfort!

What's wrong with you? Although he has not been in contact with the Lin family lady for a long time, don't you also know that this woman is different from the so-called ladies he knows well!

She is not delicate, not pretentious, she can't say a word, turn three corners and bury four or five pits, she has nothing to say, and she has never exaggerated when she talks and does things. Including Poria cocos, Poria cocos ointment, Luo Buma, and yesterday he took it back to verify the effect of the healing medicine, there has always been one thing to say and two to say, since she doesn't want to hand over the prescription, then let the Lin family be responsible for the pharmacy according to her, and the rejuvenation hall has less pharmaceutical labor loss, and can get more profits, so why not!

Having said that, after obtaining the supply of medicinal materials from the army with this healing medicine, he can completely make friends with Lin Niangzi, and the relationship is really good, and it will be a good ...... Family, when the time comes, Mrs. Lin ...... No, when the time comes, it's time to call Liao Niangzi, everyone is herself, what healing medicine and what wound clearing medicine, it's not all Liao's family!

People, often like this, drill the horns of the bull, how to think about how it will not work, can't think through, but once you turn that corner, the previous insistence on things is likely to be really insignificant, and even make people laugh!

Because as soon as Qiu Chen mentioned the wound cleaning thing, it was tantamount to setting up a downhill ladder for him. As soon as his mind turned, he automatically bypassed the bend, and he naturally lost the stalemate and embarrassment before, and it was all good!

If it is said that before, Liao Wenqing has always been attracted to Lin Niangzi, and he has repeatedly wanted to get close to her and help her...... In fact, he didn't understand what he was thinking, and at this moment, let this healing medicine cooperation problem be excited, he actually saw it through and saw it clearly.

It is good to see the essence of things clearly, and to see your own heart clearly, these two things are related to such a subtle thing......

After figuring out some tricks, Liao Wenqing, and then looking at the woman next to him, the feeling was different again, the smile on his face was much more sincere, and he was also much gentler: "I still thought that I could have a taste of Lin ...... today." Lady's camellia dumplings! "After figuring out something, Liao Wenqing, why did he feel so awkward when he called Qiu Chenlin again!

It seems that he wants some hands and feet, so it's good to change this title to Liao Niangzi!

Qiu Chen didn't know that Liao Wenqing had thought so much about her work at this time, and she didn't have the heart to pay attention to her son's fickle mind, she was angry for a while, and then she was like eating bee feces, she was secretly happy there, who knows if she had hysteria!

Waving his hand, Qiu Chen said: "It's a pity, yesterday I dug up all the shepherd's cabbage in the backyard, and the young owner can only stay in the next year if he wants to eat shepherd's cabbage dumplings!" ”

Well, a sentence pointed him to a year later!

The thing she said about cleaning wounds is actually known to everyone in modern times, and that is alcohol. However, in this era, not to mention alcohol, there is no even high spirits, according to Qiu Chen's understanding, at this time, the distilled liquor jishu is not perfect, and the spirits are only twenty or thirty degrees, if you want to get 75% alcohol with a good disinfection effect, perfect distillation is a must, and it is likely to be distilled twice!

Distillation is not difficult, but the difficulty is that Qiu Chen wants to order suitable for distillation!

Distillery, Qiu Chen's handy is naturally a laboratory glassware, but here, she didn't dare to think about it at all. At first, she thought it was fired with ceramics, but after inquiring, she found that there were only two burnt bricks and a potted pot around Qingshui Town, but there were no porcelain products. Ceramics and ceramics, don't look at the habitual use together, but pottery and porcelain are very different. Not to mention, the pottery products are relatively rough and heavy, and it is easy to say that it is easy to make a clay pot and clay pot, but it is extremely difficult to make exquisite objects alone. So Qiu Chen could only give up, and instead pondered other materials, iron rust, aluminum and tin are unrealistic, not to mention gold and silver, after Qiu Chen inquired, made a decision, there is a copper shop in the county, it is said that the craftsmanship of making copper is very superb, Qiu Chen bought back to make soap mold The copper plate is the finished product of the copper shop, and the workmanship is fine, and even the patterns are exquisite. I think she wants something but the shape of the instrument is a little special, and it shouldn't be difficult in terms of craftsmanship.

It takes at least two days to make copperware, one day to distill, and half a day to go one way from Liujiaao to the county seat, and one day to remove...... Five days later, when Liao Wenqing comes back, he should be able to get high alcohol.

Liao Wenqing saw that it was useless to stay any longer, so he took Qiu Chen to write down the list of pharmaceutical raw materials, so he had to leave in a huff. It was said that the pharmaceutical raw materials would be sent over the next day.

After sending Liao Wenqing's master and servant away, Qiu Chen beckoned a group of children to continue to read and write.

Junwen Junshu, Qiu Chen began to recognize Chinese characters, and at the same time, he began to teach them simple numbers and arithmetic. Once the pharmaceutical workshop is started, there will be more money in all kinds of materials, and the current accounts will have to be sorted out, and all aspects of production will be taken care of.

After teaching the children for half an hour, Qiu Chen assigned homework, and then went to make dinner.

There are three fried Luo Buma at home from Lan Ying, six children, and more than ten young people digging ponds outside, and more than 20 people are cooking, which is also very laborious to make.

However, Qiu Chen didn't want to deal with things, and he treated others and himself badly.

Spinach is planted in the vegetable garden, fat and watery, special growth, already a bundle of height, thick leaves are dark green, looking at the flesh. Qiu Chen took a small hoe, carried a basket into the vegetable garden, and took a basket of small cabbage, returned to pick and wash it, and sent two kelps out of the water, cut them into pieces of appropriate size, and cleaned up the pot and stove to fry the vegetables.

Put in the meat oil, green onion and ginger pot, pour in a big bowl of pork belly oil squeak, and then as if the kelp stir-fried, the fried kelp is almost cooked, and it is also soaked in the taste of oil and water, put in the washed and cut spinach, continue to stir-fry a few times, the spinach is cooked, the color can be out of the pot, in a large clay pot, cover the lid, turn back to the pot to make a big pot of small cabbage gnocchi soup, with yesterday's pork broth, but also cut two catties of cooked pork belly into it, a pot, fragrant.

Qiu Chen was cleaning up the food outside, and when he heard that Lan Ying and the three of them had finished their work from the backyard and turned back, he looked up with a smile and shouted outside the house: "It's time to eat!" ”

A few years old, Ah Fu Aman immediately cheered, "Eat......"

Junyan Junzhang ran out of the yard with a snap and beckoned to dig the pond.

Eating lively, Qiu Chen asked everyone about the situation of each family, whether there are many brothers in the family, whether they can do the work in the field, and whether there is any idle labor......

Listening and listening, some people are a little uneasy when eating. Just now, the young owner of the Rejuvenation Hall came over, but everyone outside the door could see it clearly, and the three women in the backyard also knew, combined with Qiu Chen's words that day, many people sensitively guessed that the lady of the Lin family asked this, it seems that she wants to recruit another man......

Lin Zi has been waiting for this opportunity for many days, and when he heard that the Lin family lady had the intention of recruiting, where was he still calm, he didn't want to ask himself, so he kicked the green mountain next to him with his foot under the table.

Qingshan also heard the meaning of Qiu Chen's words just now, but he has a lot of land at home, his own family has 20 acres of land, and he also rented 20 acres of Liu Bingshan's house, and the children are still young, only he and his father can clean up, and there is no replacement at all. Short-term work such as building a house and digging a pond is not good in the busy farming season, but in a few days he will have to plough in the summer, and then the summer harvest will come, and he will not have time to come out to work. So I didn't mean to. As soon as Lin Zi kicked him, he remembered that there was another person next to him who was in a hurry to come to Lin's house to work.

Lin Zi is sixteen years old, there are four brothers in the family, the three brothers in front of him married and took out all the old children in the family, only he is the only one, there is no shortage of labor in the family, the lack is money, but he just came to work, he is not married and has nothing to worry about, he works neatly, and his brain is lively enough, the key is that he is very right-minded, although he is in a hurry to use the money, but he does not move those crooked thoughts, and asking for him is also considered to help this child.

After quickly calculating in his heart, Qingshan kicked away Lin Zi and stretched out his foot, holding the bowl and asking with a smile: "Lin family lady, listen to what you mean, do you want to recruit helpers again?" ”

Qingshan asked directly, and Qiu Chen had nothing to say, so he nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, this time the work is urgent, I have to find a few sharp hands, and I have to go to work soon, and I have to take it for a few days when I come, and I have learned to be proficient before I can really take on the work...... But seeing that the work in the fields is also busy, I am afraid that there will be no idlers in the village. Oh, this time the work is not a matter of three days and two days, once you come to work, you have to sign the annual deed, there is nothing big at home on weekdays, you can't delay the work! ”

As soon as these words fell, the Qingshan family sighed and said to the Qinghe family: "It's a pity, we both have a lot of land, otherwise let them all come to work......

His daughter-in-law interrupted, Qingshan was originally going to recommend Lin Zi's words, but he was intercepted, paused, and had to change his sentence and asked: "What are the requirements for recruiting workers, or only recruiting mothers-in-law?" ”

Qiu Chen had already seen the lawsuit between Lin Zi and Qingshan under the table, and as soon as he saw Qingshan's words, his body skimmed, obviously avoiding Lin Zi's hints, and couldn't help but smile: "This time the work is not so easy as frying and drying medicine, doing physical work, of course, you have to find strength, I'm afraid that few middle-aged men can pull out, so I can use half the size here...... However, you must be down-to-earth and willing to be tired and capable! ”

Lin Zi just heard Qingshan ask whether to recruit only his mother-in-law, he was a little anxious, if he only recruited his mother-in-law, he would be yellow, he was anxious, he heard Qiu Chen say to recruit half of the eldest son, and he was happy again, and he no longer expected Qingshan to ask for him, as soon as he heard Qiu Chen say that he should be willing to be tired and capable, he immediately stood up and said: "Sister-in-law of the Lin family, I can be tired, if you use me, I will ensure that I work steadfastly, and I will do all the heavy work and ......."

Just now, Lin Zi and Qingshan made a small move under the table, everyone didn't know, listening to Qiu Chen's words, in fact, they all knew it in their hearts, the Lin family lady was afraid that she had been optimistic about Lin Zi for a long time, but she didn't expect Lin Zi to panic, she didn't hear what the Lin family lady meant, and stood up and asked for a guarantee, so she couldn't help but laugh without waiting for Lin Zi to finish speaking.

Qiu Chen also laughed, and caught a glimpse of Lin Zi's face flushed with laughter from everyone's laughter, standing there scratching his head and smiling innocently, but he was not in a hurry or annoyed, and his heart was satisfied. Fifteen or sixteen-year-old children, who are at the age of serious rebellion, are all like stubborn donkeys, and they don't even touch their hair. These days, Qiu Chen has paid a lot of attention to this child, at such a young age, moving bricks and mud, he is willing to work hard to do any tiring work, he does not complain about hardship, he does not shout tired, and he does not have any serious problems, regardless of men, women and children, he is 'gregarious' in the village dialect, and there is no problem with those children who live a good life in modern times......

Holding back his laughter, Qiu Chen raised his hand and motioned for Lin Zi to sit down first, then slowed down and drank a sip of water, then said with a smile: "This is not a trivial matter, you go home tonight to discuss with your father and mother, if you come, if it is appropriate to try the work, but you have to sign the annual deed." ”

In the village, there are two kinds of migrant workers, one is short-term work, which is called 'short-term work', which generally does not require a deed signing. The other is long-term work, generally signed on an annual basis, during the construction period, workers are not allowed to leave their jobs at will, and the main family cannot resign for no reason. Moreover, under normal circumstances, the monthly wage of long-term workers is more than that of short-term workers, and some people can do long-term work for several years or even decades in a family, which is basically the same as domestic servants, and the only difference may be that the identity is a citizen, not a slave.

That's the answer to him?!

Lin Zi looked forward to the things for many days, once it was realized, his heart was excited, and he lost his usual stability, and promised again and again: "My father and mother must have nothing to say, such a good thing, they will be happy, how can they disagree......"

Qingshan found an opportunity this time, kicked him hard, and scolded him with a smile: "I said that you kid can be a little promising, steady for a while, the big guys will listen to your vernacular, and you can't eat?" The lady of the Lin family asked you to go home to discuss, you went home to discuss, why didn't you listen to the order before you came to work? ”

Lin Zi was kicked, grinning with his teeth, rubbing his leg with his hand, but he still couldn't stop laughing, nodding his head again and again, picking up the bowl and gobbling up the rice. Angry, Qingshan scolded with a smile: "I said what are you robbing, the lady of the Lin family has prepared enough food, are you afraid that it will not be enough for you to eat?" With the amount of food you have, you can eat so well, and the work is not enough for you to eat by yourself! ”

Everyone laughed again, but Lin Zi just smiled and scratched his head, and lowered his head to eat, but the speed was much slower.

At dinner, Qiu Chen released a very important information. After the Lin Zi incident passed, Qiu Chen added a few more words, mainly two basic requirements for employees, one is that there is no disease, and the other is that as long as they are clean and diligent, there is no limit to men and women. In addition, I also said that although the work was urgent, there were not many people, only ten people.

Except for Lin Zi, the others are not without the intention of working, but thinking about their own situation, they either have a lot of land, or they are short of manpower and can't pull out, so they can only sigh secretly. However, I can't come, how can my seven aunts and eight aunts and relatives be able to wipe out a few qualified branches, so the speed of this dinner is a lot faster than in the past, everyone is full quickly, and they hurried home, all thinking about sending the Lin family's recruitment letter home, there are suitable people to work, and it is good to come to the Lin family and said, if it is late, maybe the quota will be occupied by others.

When everyone left, Lan Ying and the three of them also helped clean up the pots and spoons, and Qiu Chen also began to wonder who she knew better and was suitable for work besides Lin Zi.

The matter of medicine and alcohol production has basically been negotiated, and these two items are not as simple as frying Luo Buma, if there are hundreds of bottles of healing medicine a day, it will take at least ten people to complete. Steaming alcohol, on the other hand, requires at least three young people to work to complete heavy physical work such as carrying water and carrying it. Moreover, distilling spirits takes a long time, and a distillation process takes at least one day and one night, which requires two or three shifts of people......

When it comes to employing people, Qiu Chen naturally wants to listen to Lan Ying's opinion. After all, she still doesn't know much about the villagers, and she needs to pay special attention to the confidentiality of pharmaceutical and steamed wine, so she must be extra cautious in employing people.

Lan Ying's family, Lan Yingzheng and her mother-in-law Wang's steamed steamed buns.

Lan Yinglin's family goes to work, these days have got a lot of money, and Qiu Chen's various subsidies, the days of hoarding the family are a lot more comfortable, and the Wang family no longer takes care of the family's food, no, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are steamed is a two-sided roll, watching the two of them hold two large pieces of noodles, and send a full seven or eight catties of noodles, this is usually Lan Ying's family, and the New Year may not steam so many steamed buns.

Qiu Chen teased Lingzhi and plugs in the courtyard, and walked into the open door: "Auntie, Sister Lan Ying, steamed steamed buns!" ”

Wang sat on the kang and greeted Qiu Chen with two hands covered with flour and a smile.

Qiu Chen smiled and went to the basin to wash his hands, rolled up his sleeves, took half a piece of noodles from Wang's hand, rubbed it vigorously, and while talking to his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he could be regarded as asking who in the village could draw out manpower from the side. At best, there are 100 households in Liujiaao, some of which are extremely difficult to get along with, and the rest are not even 90 households.

At this time, the second daughter-in-law heard the voice and came to speak, she was about to stretch out her hand to hold her face, but was stopped by the three women in the house, and only let her sit and talk. Jokes, dough is a hard job, not only the arms are forced, but the waist and abdomen are forced, what can be done in case the second daughter-in-law stretches her stomach!

Very, the noodles are ready, Lan Ying took a knife, kneaded the noodles into noodles and made them into rectangular rolls, cover them with a cage cloth and wake up for a while, and put them in the pot to steam.

After cleaning up the panel, Lan Ying didn't need Qiu Chen to do it, Qiu Chen went to wash his hands, and when he turned around, he listened to the Wang family and Erkui's family: "Hongmei, your body is not convenient, so you don't have to be busy steaming dry food, and you can go to this house to get a few dry food!" ”

Cold food? If I'm not mistaken, cold food is another name for Qingming Festival!

Qiu Chen blinked, she was busy every day, but she forgot about spring, a very important traditional festival. However, listening to Wang's words, why do you have to eat rolls when you eat cold? She still has some steamed buns at home, but there are no rolls, so do you want to steam them in a pot?

After washing his hands and entering the house, Wang said to Qiu Chen again: "Begonia, if you don't steam it over there, come and get it, I will steam more today, and it will be enough for the three families to eat." ”

Seeing Qiu Chen nodded, Wang said again: "Hou'er is cold, are you going to go to the grave for Shengzi?" ”

Qiu Chen was stunned, didn't he say that Lin Sheng didn't see the corpse at the border pass when he died, where did he come to the grave? But she couldn't say anything about this surprise, so she had to hide and ask Lin Xu when she got home.

Nodding, Qiu Chen also responded. Her husband mourned the first Qingming, no matter how she said it, she should take her children to the grave, Qiu Chen felt that she should maintain a respect for a deceased, not to mention being reasonable, this is what she should do.

Seeing that she hung her head, as if she was mournful, Wang sighed, patted Qiu Chen's hand and said, "You should go, you should go, although it is just a few clothes for Shengzi, but your heart is there, and he can know it." It's cold in the north, I'll help you paste your clothes later, and you can send it to Shengzi, so that he won't get cold over there!" ”

As soon as she said this, Qiu Chen felt that there was a cold air on his spine, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to nod his head in response.

After thanking him, Qiu Chen remembered that it had been so long since he saw the three men in the family, so he asked.

Lan Ying just finished packing up and came in, so she answered with a smile: "Isn't it cold food in the future, we want to take a thousand people in our village, and they all went!" ”

Erkui's daughter-in-law smiled next to her: "No one in our village can miss Uncle Dachuan, they all say that Uncle Dachuan leads Youqian, Qu Gao, and there will be no accidents, it is strong and reliable!" ”

Lan Ying also smiled: "That's what you say!" He said to Qiu Chen again, "A few years ago, we didn't have a suitable child here, but this year, Junwen Junshu Xuzi can participate, Haitang, you must let them go." Every year, Wangjia Miaozi, Beigao Village, and even the south of the front nest shop, the big girl and the little daughter-in-law of Qingshui Town come to see, Qu is a good swing, and you can step through the threshold when you come to the door. I see, Begonia is still ready in a hurry, Brother Xu and Junshu are still young, let's not talk about it, Junwen looks good and has a good temperament, when the time comes, I'm afraid that the door of your house will be broken! ”

When he first heard the word 'Youqian', Qiu Chen didn't react yet, but after listening to a few words and connecting back and forth, Qiu Chen was suddenly surprised. In many places in the north, there is a custom of swinging during the Qingming Festival. The word 'Yosen' here is probably a swing.

However, it was the first time Qiu Chen had heard of such a grand Qingming Festival event, and when Lan Ying chirped like this, he had just been said by the Wang family that the chill was gone, and he nodded with a smile: "Sister Lan Ying is not worried about don't worry, and she is not worried about Brother Man's craftsmanship!" ”

When the beam was on, the west wing of the father was full of hoarding, and the gatehouse was hoarding, Qiu Chen said that he could trust the full hoard, that is, he was full of people to build the gatehouse, and he was not afraid of crowding. Naturally, several people laughed, making Lan Ying blush.

Seeing that it was not early, Qiu Chen said goodbye. Erkui's family also followed, and hurriedly went to the West Chamber to hand over the finished clothes to Qiu Chen. There were six sets of clothes, large and small.

The second daughter-in-law said: "One piece of cloth makes two adult clothes, I see that there is a surplus, so I make my own decisions and make a set for Afu Amandu, Begonia girl, don't think I'm making my own decisions." ”

Qiu Chen was going to finish making a few Junwen, so he would do it again for Lin Xu and Afu Aman, but now that the Erkui family has done it for Afu Aman, Qiu Chen naturally has only joy and satisfaction, where will he blame her, he smiled again and again and asked her not to think about it, and took her home with her, and took out a fine azure muslin and asked Lin Xu to make two more summer clothes.

I have already made spring clothes for Lin Xu before, and the teenagers are growing up, so the spring clothes may be shorter in the autumn, so I simply don't make more of them, and directly make summer clothes. When Lin Xu's two sets of muslin summer shirts are finished, Qiu Chen will still have to make a few pieces of brocade, but now that Erkui's daughter-in-law is three months pregnant, she will have to look at the physical condition of Erkui's daughter-in-law at that time.

The second daughter-in-law touched the silky and delicate cotton cloth, and sighed again and again: "Xuzi is really blessed to have a sister-in-law like you." ”

Hearing this, Qiu Chen knew that Erkui's daughter-in-law was thinking of his own superb sister-in-law, and said with a smile: "Now Xuzi is still young, naturally I can do whatever I say, and when I am a few years old, I will marry my daughter-in-law again, and his daughter-in-law will be in charge, and I will be able to let go when the time comes." ”

As he spoke, he sighed softly, feeling a little lost.

It turns out that I always listen to the age of adults, 'the child is not the mother', 'I married the daughter-in-law and forgot the mother', I haven't experienced it before, but I have been a sister-in-law and mother for more than a month...... It's hard to describe the mixture of joy and loss.

The second daughter-in-law was amused by her sigh: "Oh, you treat Cheng Xuzi, even if you are your own mother, it's just like that." When Xuzi marries his daughter-in-law, he naturally has to honor you! ”

Qiu Chen smiled and shook his head, but didn't say anything. After Lin Xu marries a wife, she won't make a score for the family to be honored, that is to find a sick person without illness and add to her own blockage!

She is taking care of Lin Xu now, but she is responsible for this body, and Lin Xu is indeed sensible and distressing, but she never thought that she would be filial to her brother and daughter-in-law in the future, so she would not do that. She is used to living in a personal space, and secondly, she has seen a lot of conflicts between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for more than a month, even if Lan Ying is such a cool woman, she often expresses her dissatisfaction with her mother-in-law, not to mention her poor character and careful eyes......

Going home, Qiu Chen greeted the children who were still literate and writing: "You all stop for a while, rest for a while, come and try on the clothes to see if they fit!" ”

As soon as he heard that there were clothes, Ah Fu Aman rushed over as soon as possible, and Junyan Junzhang also came over happily, but Junwen Junshu was older after all, sensible, and a little embarrassed, and then came over, Junwen also said to Qiu Chen: "Auntie, we just made clothes!" ”

Qiu Chen glared at him: "That's your mother doing it, this is your aunt doing it, how is it the same?" As he spoke, he divided everyone's clothes, and then tried on the clothes for Afu Aman on the spot.

Erkui's daughter-in-law's needlework can be counted in the whole village, and there is naturally nothing wrong with the children trying on clothes, so Erkui's family took the fabric and left.

Qiu Chen told a group of children of all sizes that they would go to the county seat tomorrow, and the four little ones were cheering, and the three big ones were also shining in their eyes.

Qiu Chen hugged Aman and said with a smile: "Second brother is at his own house, I have already told Sister Lan Ying, she will cook for you at noon and night." In the morning, when I'm done cooking, you just have to walk the horses in the morning and evening, and feed Susu and the chickens. ”

He was the only one left at home, and Lin Xu would inevitably be a little frustrated, but he still sensibly agreed.

However, Junshu was very unexpected by Qiu Chen, and said, "Auntie, just drive my eldest brother alone, I'd better stay at home." Don't say that you have to take medicine? Lan Yinggu can't read, and it will be troublesome to keep accounts when the time comes! ”

Travel is very attractive to every child, and Qiu Chen is also from a child, so he is naturally very clear. Therefore, it is not easy to resist this attraction and offer to stay at home.

After a moment of silence, Qiu Chen agreed with a smile, raised his hand and touched the top of Junshu's head: "Junshu has grown up, and he knows that he is thinking about adults!" Okay, tomorrow you will stay at home, but don't feel bad, just a few days, you will have to go, and then you will be asked to follow your brother. ”

Although Junshu offered to stay at home, Xiaoxiao did not have regrets in his heart, but when he heard Qiu Chen praise him like this, and knew that there was still a chance to go to the county seat, this kid threw away that little bit of unhappiness, and was a little embarrassed to touch the back of his head, and said with a smile: "Aunt, don't worry, I will take care of the family." ”

Junwen also woke up from his stunned at this time, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, his younger brother could think of sharing his aunt's worries, but he didn't expect it as the eldest brother, so Ai Ai said: "Second child, or you rush to the county seat, I'll stay at home......"

Junshu didn't let Junwen finish speaking, so he stopped his brother's words with a smile: "Big brother, let's go." You can catch the car better than I do...... Hehe, when my aunt buys something, you can help with more transportation if you have a lot of strength. ”

Junwen was also relieved at this time, and slapped Junshu with a smile: "You kid can see it!" ”

Jun Yan also shouted next to him: "Second brother, I will go to the county seat tomorrow, I will bring you rabbit legs!" ”

There is an old Hu family in Anping County, famous for cooking rabbit legs, it turns out that Yang Shuyong went to the county seat to bring it to the children, and Junyan remembered the wonderful taste. In my thoughts, I regarded this dish of rabbit legs as a delicacy.

Junshu also gave the kid a slap in the face, and said with a smile: "You kid, don't just remember to eat, Ming'er will go to the county seat, the eldest brother wants to help my aunt buy things and run errands, I can't take care of you, you and Junzhang must be obedient, don't run around, and be optimistic about Xiaofu Xiaoman, but you can't run around, be careful to let the flower shoot you away!" ”

Jun Yan Junzhang nodded again and again, with a happy and solemn face.

Qiu Chen turned around and released the children, letting them wash up and get ready for bed. Qiu Chen took advantage of the children's writing desk, took a pen and paper and began to draw drawings, the brush was too soft, she ran to the stove pit to find a piece of charcoal to sharpen, and it was a lot easier.

The next day I had to go into the city, and I didn't tell stories in the evening, and after a few words, I went to bed early.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Qiu Chen got up early to cook, the family ate, Junwen went to set up the car, Qiu Chen hugged an old bedding in the car, and hugged the still sleepy-eyed Afu Aman into the car, and covered it with a quilt, Junyan Junzhang was embarrassed to sit on the wheel with a smile like a child. Qiu Chen is not used to sitting cross-legged, he always feels breathless, and his legs will be numb after sitting for a while, so he carefully sits on the frame, while shaking with the bumps of the vehicle, while pondering, and when he is busy for a while, he will add a compartment to the car, so that it will be convenient to go out, and in case of wind and rain, he will not find a place to hide.

Liujiaao is more than 50 miles away from Anping County, it takes an hour and a half to take a carriage, it takes one and a half hours to pass through Qingshui Town and Chengjiadian, a few days ago Yangshu Yongyun brick Chengjiayao is in the north of Chengjiadian.

The horse's hooves clicked, and after a while, Junyan Junzhang Xing'er passed, and he dozed off on the wheel. With the help of Qiu Chen, Junwen, he also carried the two children to the bedding of the carriage, and the four children were huddled together, with frames on the left and right, so that they would be bumped down.

In March, the sun is shining and the days are already warm, but there is still a little chill at night and in the morning and evening. Qiu Chen went out and dressed himself and the children in cotton clothes, and at this time he was sitting in the carriage, and he was still a little nervous when he was blown by the cold wind in the early morning. She covered her shirt and sat down on the wheel.

In the carriage, you can stretch your legs unless you sit on the frame, and on the wheel, you can hang your legs to the side of the car, and the view from this side is also good...... In Qiu Chen's opinion, it is equivalent to the co-pilot of the car.

Sit firmly, took two deep breaths, and looked at the growing greenery in the fields on both sides, Qiu Chen began to talk to Junwen, it was nothing more than the Yang family's affairs, as well as the Yang family's shops, Junwen was honest and quiet, but he also answered Qiu Chen's inquiries with heart, which made her know a lot more about her 'mother's family'.

The aunt and nephew were talking, but they didn't feel lonely on the journey, and they arrived at Qingshui Town after a while. passed through Qingshui Town, and after more than half an hour, I arrived at Cheng's store. Chengjiayao is in the north of Chengjiadian, not far from the road. Along the way, whenever he passed through the village, Junwen would always give Qiu Chen guidance and introduction, and Chengjiayao was no exception.

Chengjiayao is not tall, blue-gray round castle-shaped building, surrounded by some burned green bricks and tiles, Qiu Chen looked up, searched carefully for a week and did not see the modern brick kiln kind of digging pit, and couldn't help but wonder: "Don't they burn bricks with soil?" ”

Junwen smiled: "Of course you use soil, but the bricks are not ordinary soil, but red clay, and you have to go to the clay land to get it, and you can't go to one place, otherwise the land will be destroyed." ”

Qiu Chen was stunned, and slowly turned his gaze back, but he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

Although they did not know what environmental protection was, they consciously abided by the simple and effective protection customs, hunting would avoid the spring breeding season, and would avoid cubs and pregnant mothers; The brick kiln burns bricks, but instead of taking soil and destroying the field for a little immediate profit, it keeps in mind the customs and rules of not destroying the farmland...... These people do this without supervision, and there are no laws and regulations. It is really time to let those modern people who are almost frenzied and wreak havoc on the environment in pursuit of profit come here to take a look, and let them listen to the simple words of these ordinary people again...... It's just that I don't know if those hearts that are completely corrupted by material things and interests can still be moved by the simplicity and sincerity here!

Junwen secretly glanced at his aunt, not knowing that his aunt Weishenme was suddenly unhappy. He was stupid, and he didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only concentrate on driving the carriage steadily.

Arriving at Chengjiadian, the sun slowly jumped out of the horizon, warming the sun, forcing back the cold wind, and warming people's bodies.

The hillside north of Qingshui Town has been rugged for a long time, and after Chengjiadian, the hills are completely invisible, and as far as the eye can see, they are all endless plains. At this time, the wheat seedlings in the field have returned to green, and the flat wheat fields are green and green, which makes people feel better unconsciously.

"It's a good day this year, the wheat is growing really well, if it rains two more times, the harvest can be saved." Junwen looked at the vibrant wheat field and couldn't help but rejoice.

Qiu Chen recalled that since she woke up, it seemed that there had been a light rain, which had not rained for nearly a month, and she, who did not have much weather awareness, felt that it was going to be dry, but she didn't expect Junwen to say, 'It's good'.

After thinking about it for a while, Qiu Chen spoke: "I see that there is a bit of drought this day, and I haven't seen rain stars for a month. ”

Junwen glanced at Qiu Chen in surprise, and said with a smile: "Auntie, it seems that you have really been away from home for a long time, our Yang family ancestors look at the weather, there was rain around the moon last night, and there will be a rain tomorrow." ”

"Oh, hehe, I'm too busy to pay attention!" Qiu Chen was stunned for a moment, and covered up his embarrassment with a dry smile, "If this rain falls, it will be the right time." ”

I secretly warned myself in my heart, don't look at Junwen Junshu's age, she must always pay attention to what she says and acts, once or twice, it is difficult not to arouse suspicion a few more times.

They set off from Liujiaao at the end of the time and arrived at Anping County, it was already in the middle of the hour, and they walked for three hours.

Far away, Qiu Chen saw the blue-gray city wall of Anping County, the gray color was not bright, but it was thick and simple, giving people a sense of safety and reliability.

Qiu Chen jumped out of the car early, moved his legs and feet, and then walked slowly towards the city gate with the carriage. The four little ones in the car had also woken up, and their eyes were full of excitement at this time, but they quietly watched as they approached the city gate, revealing the excitement and apprehension of going out for the first time. Seeing Qiu Chen, he couldn't help but think of the first time he took the train to Beijing.

Most of the afternoon, it is the time when there are many people in and out of the city, and in the blue and gray towering city gate hole, there is an endless stream of people in and out of the city. On either side of the city gate stood two soldiers in uniform, but they did not check or charge anything to enter the city. even smiled and said hello to acquaintances from time to time, which looked very harmonious and lively.

Qiu Chen also relaxed, and walked in with the carriage, but unexpectedly, a soldier stretched out a spear to block their way: "Where are you?" What to do in town? ”

Although Junwen was honest and spoken, he felt that it was his duty to deal with the officers and soldiers at this time, so he hurriedly reined in the reins of the horse, and said to the soldier with a smile: "This official, we are Liu Jiaao of Qingshui Town, go to the city to buy something!" This is my aunt and a few younger brothers! ”

The officers and soldiers looked Qiu Chen and a few children up and down, and when they saw that it was indeed a woman and a few hairy children, they were not interested in asking, and waved their hands to let them enter the city.

After the carriage passed through the city gate, a young man on foot smiled and said, "This is the first time you have entered the city, right?" ”

Junwen was honest and replied with a smile: "This eldest brother can see that my aunt and our brother are indeed entering the city for the first time, and our father has come before. ”

Qiu Chen looked at the young man who was twenty-five or sixteen years old, tall and burly, with a slightly dark face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, upright facial features, a bright smile showing two rows of white teeth, looking very simple and sunny.

Junwen saw that the other party was wearing a black cotton cloth dress and black mille-feuille shoes, all of which were half-worn but without patches, and there was a blanket on his shoulders, so he asked, "It seems that this eldest brother is from the city, right?" ”

The young man smiled and said, "The little brother's eyesight is also good, so I live in the locust alley in the city gate." ”

As he spoke, the young man's gaze swept over Rouge's body, the corners of his eyes twitched almost imperceptibly, and his words were also paused, and then he grinned and said, "These officials who guard the city have good eyes, who are often coming and going, and who is a fresh face, they can see at a glance." If it's a weekday, it's just that, these days, I heard that there are Rong people in the north to buckle the border, and the entry and exit of the county town will be more strict, for fear that there will be fine work mixed in. ”

Qiu Chen has not yet figured out the geographical situation of Shijie, except for Lin Sheng who was conscripted to go to the border pass two years ago, it seems that the common people usually live in peace and stability, and few people mention the border pass, and subconsciously think that the border pass is far away, unless there is a large-scale war, it will not affect Xiao Liu Jiaao. Listening to this person today, it is possible for the Mongolian people to go to Anping County, so doesn't it mean that the border is very close?

Surprised in his heart, Qiu Chen couldn't help but say: "The border pass is so far, can you also go here to loot?" ”

The young man smiled and said: "The battle of the army is naturally far away, but the Rong people are often just small groups of people who detain the border, they loot the money, grain and rice and leave, coming and going like the wind, which makes the border army sigh every time." And because there is a large army stationed at the border pass, it is not easy to get it. Moreover, they had abundant horses, and most of them rode in pairs, and they traveled two or three hundred miles in one night...... Hehe, the little lady doesn't have to be afraid, Anping is far away after all, and now it's just a matter of being prepared. ”

Two or three hundred miles? It turned out that the border was only two or three hundred miles away from him, so close!

This thought flashed, and Qiu Chen's eyes couldn't help but pay attention to the young man again. This young man was dressed like an ordinary child, but he was very familiar with the march of the army, but he listened to him...... That doesn't seem normal, right?

Although the county has a wide range of information acceptance, Qiu Chen doesn't think that an ordinary child will know this!

So, Qiu Chen changed the topic and asked with a smile: "We went into the city to find a copper shop, may I ask this brother, which way should we go?" ”

The young man in black grinned, raised his hand and pointed to the big street in front of him: "You walk along this street, and when you walk to a guest restaurant, you can see it." Oh, there is a big copper kettle in front of the copper shop, you can see it from afar, so you can find it! As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched his rouge mane, and said with a smile: "This horse is good!" ”

Qiu Chen's heart jumped, and his gaze swept over the young man's hand. A pair of big hands with distinct joints, it looks very powerful, but these hands are obviously different from the farmers such as Manchu, although powerful, the skin on the back of the hand is moist, and the palm lines and nail gaps are clean and tidy, there is no roughness and dirt accumulated from perennial labor, and the important thing is that there is obviously a thick callus on the tiger's mouth on the right hand...... Who gets calluses out of their mouths?

"That's Xiexie!" Qiu Chen hurriedly thanked him, and beckoned Junwen to drive the carriage down the street.

The young man in black stood still and looked at the background of several people, squinting his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of interest in his smile.

A teenage boy caught up from behind, approached the young man in black, and wondered, "General Hong, why are you ......?"

If Qiu Chen hadn't left in a hurry, she would definitely have been able to recognize that this little boy was the one who called her 'shrew' several times!

"You kid, don't make a ghost in front of me, I'm not as good-tempered as your son, annoy me, be careful of the horse whip!" Hong Zhanpeng raised his hand and knocked on the door of the boy's head, laughing and angry.

An Lu raised his hand to touch the door of his head that was knocked on the head, and laughed with him, but he was still waiting for Hong Zhanpeng's answer.

Hong Zhanpeng raised his eyes to look at the family that had been hidden in the flow of people, and smiled slyly, but he didn't explain An's confusion, but only said secretly, what kind of character is that in their family? He doesn't believe that person is kind at all, and he doesn't behave without rules. So, what made the man make an exception to sell a Dawan Flame Pony...... The reason for this is worth scrutinizing. And no matter what the reason is for that person to make an exception, there must be something special about this family, so he revealed that it is not wrong for that family to avoid danger!

With a grin, Hong Zhanpeng waved his hand and turned around and walked into an alley. What's so special about it, and what you might get out of it!

Besides, Qiu Chen entered the city, got rid of the young man who made her feel weird, and didn't walk a few steps along the street, and the hustle and bustle of the city came to her face.

Near noon, it is the time of the day when the market is lively, the shops on both sides of the street are either hanging signboards, or carrying high cloth banners, and there are also trees and high poles hanging a string of lanterns, and the names of the shops or the main goods are written on them.

Under the wall between the shops and the shops, there are open-air stalls that sell all kinds of snacks, hand-knitted objects, and small embroidery pieces...... Some stalls are not as grand as the shops, but they are varied and flexible.

There are also some itinerant peddlers, carrying straw sticks and red sugar gourds stuck in them; There are also carrying a load of lamps and grass flowers, the flowers are gorgeous, the shape is realistic, and the red and green are dazzling......

Not to mention a few children, even Qiu Chen, at this time, he felt that his eyes were a little insufficient.

Several children couldn't sit still, but Qiu Chen didn't ask for trouble, and put the children in the car, it was not like throwing out a circle of chickens, running around in a hurry...... She's just afraid of just looking for the child!

Coax the children to sit in the car, and then find a place to store the carriage later, and then take them shopping. A few children pouted for a while, and they were very attracted by the noisy and lively scene, and they looked at the frame one by one, and they couldn't care about their little sex.

After walking for two quarters of an hour, I saw a striking three-story restaurant: Kelaiju. Bypassing the guest house, a golden copper kettle came into view!

In the copper shop, a master with two young apprentices was busy, and when he saw a group of people coming in, the young apprentice hurriedly got up to meet him.

"A few guest officers, is this a copper basin or a copper mirror? Our Liaojia copper shop can be used for several lifetimes without leakage, and the copper mirror is also smooth and bright, and it is good to marry a girl and a daughter-in-law. "The young man is not very old, but he is very slippery, and he has made a lot of advertisements in one mouth.

Qiu Chen listened interestingly, smiled and nodded: "We are here to make copper ware, but we are not making copper basins or copper mirrors, we want to make a few special things." ”

"Oh?" The young man was a little surprised, and immediately turned back to ask his master with his eyes.

The white-haired master also put down a copper kettle in his hand, put down his apron, and walked over slowly.

"A few guest officers, I don't know what you want to do? Is there a look? ”

Qiu Chen took out his own drawings and handed them to the master: "You are Master Qu, right?" I want to make a few objects, and here's my drawing, you see. ”

Master Naqu took the drawings and looked at them for a while, nodded and said, "It's not that this can't be made, it's just that this lady has a lot of materials and uses a lot of copper, and I don't have so much here for the time being." ”

As soon as he heard that he could fight, Qiu Chen didn't have time to be happy, but he heard that the raw materials were not enough!

Stunned, she remembered that the ancient circulation coins were all copper, copper folk are controlled things, a small fight to make a basin, no one asks, if she wants this kind of dozens of catties of heavy pieces, there is more than one, this copper material is really not easy to make.

Qiu Chen frowned, his mind changed sharply, and then said: "Master Qu, I only make pipes and organs, is there enough copper?" ”

Master Qu silently summed it up and nodded.

Qiu Chen said again: "Master Qu, look, if I use pottery, make a hole here, can you install this mechanism and make it watertight?" ”

Master Qu did not hesitate this time, and immediately gave Qiu Chen a positive answer.

Qiu Chen immediately laughed: "Okay, Master Qu, I have this set of items waiting to be used, can you see if you can give me a time to catch up, and it can be made in a few days?" ”

Master Qu stared at the drawing for a while, then looked up and said to Qiu Chen: "This little lady, I have never seen you paint this object, can you tell me about it?" ”

Master Qu pointed out that Qiu Chen drew a rotary valve, this, it shouldn't have appeared at this time, right?

Qiu Chen didn't plan to hide it, and smiled and carefully explained the details and principles of the valve structure to Master Qu.

After Master Qu was stunned, a wrinkled and deep face revealed uncontrollable joy: "This little lady, the little old man asked you with a cheeky face, after you finish this object, can you let us continue to do it?" ”

Qiu Chen smiled and nodded: "Yes!" ”

"Ah, thank you so much!" Master Qu bowed to Qiu Chen, how could Qiu Chen stand it, turned sideways, raised his hand and helped the old master.

The old master said: "In this case, the little old man will rush to work for the little lady, well, two days, two days later, you can come to pick it up!" ”

Without waiting for Qiu Chen to speak, the old master hurriedly added: "The little lady only needs to pay the copper money, and the little old man doesn't want the salary." Also, the little lady needs to send me the required clay jar, and it is good to drill holes on it! ”

Qiu Chen had learned before that the wages for making copperware were determined according to the complexity of the process, and these objects like her custom were large and required to be precise and could not leak air and water, and this manual fee was indispensable, and it was much more expensive than raw materials. Qiu Chen was also not polite, thanked him, asked Master Qu about the price of the materials, took out ten taels of silver as a fixed money, asked the location of the pottery shop, and immediately rushed to buy it. In this era, the ceramic industry is still very developed and mature, Qiu Chen effortlessly bought a large pottery jar with two people hugging, a medium pottery jar that can be buckled on the pot, please ask the pottery shop to make a hole in the large pottery jar, and the medium-sized pottery jar was directly cut to the bottom, leaving only a circle, and pulled back the bronze shop together. Two large clay jars, plus perforation and cutting, but it cost less than 120 yuan.

After finishing the construction of distillation utensils, Qiu Chen's main task of entering the county this time will be completed. Seeing that it was not yet noon, he entrusted the carriage to the copper shop and took a big four children and five children to go shopping.

Locust Tree Alley, this is a nameless alley, there are only four or five households, because there is a big locust tree in the yard of a family at the head of the alley, the main trunk is thick like an embrace, the branches are luxuriant, every summer the green leaves stretch out, green as a cover, this alley is also named after this tree.

At the beginning of March, a little tender green leaf buds have just been born on the ancient acacia, a stone table under the tree, a pot of fragrant tea on the table, and a young man sitting next to him, wearing a cyan cocoon silk robe, is holding a book and looking at it.

The door opened, and a young man in black hahadaxiao walked in, breaking the quiet and leisurely courtyard and disturbing the book reader.

"Haha, no wonder Wen Yong's guy is not forgetting, that red horse is really good, people who don't know may think that Rouge Xue's bloodline is not pure, Wen Yong's guy must have seen it, it's a Dawan Flame Pony, it's much stronger than Rouge Snow!" As he spoke, the young man in black reached out and picked up the teapot on the table, and without using the teacup, he directly grunted at the spout for a while. After drinking half a pot of tea in one go, I felt that my thirst was quenched, I raised my sleeve to wipe my mouth, put the teapot on the table, casually pulled another chair next to the table, sat up with my hands and feet spread out, and let out a long breath, but as if I remembered something interesting, I laughed hehe.

On the other side, the boy held the scroll and glanced at the young man. The smile on the face of the young man in black did not change, but he spread out his hands and feet but unconsciously retracted it, and the rules were put in order.

"Big brother, according to the scout's report, our cloth bag has been prepared, as soon as the prey is in the set, we will close it......"

The boy holding the scroll nodded slightly, raised his eyes to look into the air, and said with his gaze fixed on one point: "Is there a good way to heal wounds?" ”

The man in black's face was also condensed, and then shook his head slightly heavily: "I haven't seen a return yet." However, the time is still short, and it may be available in a few days. ”

The boy who held the scroll pursed the corners of his mouth, put the scroll in his hand on the table, got up and said, "I'm afraid, I can't catch ...... up."

The man in black's face was also completely heavy.

Although he didn't finish speaking, he knew what it meant after he couldn't catch up, which would mean that countless brothers who didn't lose their lives on the battlefield after the war would die tragically due to the worsening of traumatic infections. He can't forget the unwilling eyes of those brothers, and he can't forget the miserable appearance of those brothers who were tortured by injuries and diseases......

"Hawkers, what kind of medical family, hanging pot to help the world, but I can't even come up with a prescription for treating trauma, but I still stare at the supply of medicinal materials for the army...... I'm going to arrest those straw bags who only eat grain and rice and don't do business, and I can't believe that I can't come up with a good cure for trauma! The young man in black slapped the stone table, got up angrily and was about to rush out, but was stopped by the drink.

“zhanzhu！”

With a clear drink, the voice was not loud, and even the tone was light, but it made the angry footsteps of the young man in black stop abruptly.

"Big brother!" The young man in black turned around and whispered a little unwillingly.

Qin Zheng raised his eyes and looked at him coldly, "If you go and arrest those people, you can ask for a cure for external injuries?" Even if you use torture to force out a formula, do you dare to use it for your brothers? ”

The young man in black stared and mouthed, but he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

He is a military general, he can go into battle to kill the enemy, and he can scout and investigate, but he has no way to deal with those Wen Crepe who have no power to restrain the chicken! Those people, he can probably beat them half to death with a fist, but there is no way to get them to come up with a good way to heal their wounds.

Seeing the unwillingness of the young man in black, Qin Zheng raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder twice, and said comfortingly: "You can calm down, wait for two more days!" ”

“…… Just waiting? The young man in black swept his eyes over the small courtyard and the stone table, the border war was about to break out, but they had been nesting in this small courtyard for half a month...... He's already getting angry!

Qin Zheng looked at him dissatisfied, and actually hooked the corners of his lips to reveal a smile, this Hong Zhanpeng was a tiger general beside him, and he was also his righteous brother before he joined the army. This guy is brave and resourceful in battle, but he usually makes a simple and rude appearance, and I don't know who he deliberately showed it!

Hmph, I thought he didn't know his mind!

lowered his head, hid the smile in his eyes, and no longer paid attention to Hong Zhanpeng, flicked the corner of his robe, and walked straight out.

Hong Zhanpeng was stunned, hurriedly raised his heels, and wanted to open his mouth to ask, but he didn't dare to speak, but he couldn't help but turn around and look at the two guards who followed silently, but he shook his head and said that he didn't know how to respond.

Playing and seeing, Qiu Chen took his five children to leisurely stroll all the way, and then bought a few bowls of noodles and a dozen buns at a snack stall and had lunch.

Of course, I also bought the rabbit meat that Jun Yan Junzhang was thinking about. This kind of rabbit looks a little dark red in color, and the taste Qiu Chen seems to be a good product. There is no earthy smell of hare meat, even if it is eaten cold, it is salty and fragrant, with a special aroma. As soon as Qiu Chen asked the price, each rabbit was only eighty yuan, so he simply bought a few more and brought them back to the big guys to taste.

When passing by a small stall selling jewelry, some wood-carved hairpins and bracelets were placed on the stall, the carvers were simple and lovely, and Qiu Chen chose a few hairpins to carry in his arms.

In a spice shop, Qiu Chen saw a small string of thin red pointed things hanging on the container, which almost made her jump up in surprise. These days, many dishes are not seasoned with chili peppers, and they can't make authentic tastes.

After some bargaining, Qiu Chen spent five taels of silver to buy a pack of cloves and a box of rose paste, and took the string of Chaotian peppers as a partner. It's just that as soon as he got out of the spice shop, Qiu Chen casually put the cloves and rose paste that cost five taels of silver into the basket behind Junwen, and only carefully wrapped the small string of sky-high peppers and put them in his arms. Junwen and a few children were a little puzzled, and they asked what it was, worthy of Qiu Chen's treasure, but Qiu Chen pretended to smile mysteriously and shook his head: "You'll know when you get home!" ”

They also saw an old lady guarding a basket to sell duck eggs at the end of the street, Qiu Chen remembered the delicious salted duck eggs, and bought more than 40 duck eggs brought by the old lady in one go, and added five more money to buy the old lady's old mounds.

Of course, there are no Qingshui towns in the county, such as sugar, such as seaweed, dried bamboo shoots, such as fine tea, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Qiu Chen considered buying some. There is also an object that Qiu Chen has been thinking about for a long time, a large bathtub.

Shopping time flies, and an hour has passed in the blink of an eye. At the end of noon, the group went to the copper shop to get the carriage, and several children were reluctant to embark on the return journey.

Along the way, several children had a lot of fun with maltose, and each took two small sticks to wrap around maltose to see who had more tricks. Ah Man's little hands were not good at playing, and after a while, he couldn't help but stretch out his little tongue and lick it, and then he squinted his eyes, as if he had eaten something superlative, and Qiu Chen's heart was also soft.

After playing with maltose, Ah Fu Aman climbed into the big bathtub, Qiu Chen was afraid that they would be bumpy, so he took a mattress and laid them in the wooden bathtub, and later, Junyan Junzhang also squeezed in, a few children were lying in the bathtub, Qiu Chen told them stories, the carriage was bumpy, and several children fell asleep in the bathtub, Qiu Chen took the quilt and covered them.

rushed all the way, and rushed back to Liujiaao at the end of the unitary time. It was already dark.

Before entering the village, at the fork in the village, I saw from afar that under the dim skylight, two thin figures were waiting, and the four children who had woken up stood on the carriage and began to shout, calling the second uncle, calling the second brother, and it was lively.

"Second uncle, my mother bought you books and square towels!"

"Second brother, I brought you back the rabbit legs!"

Lin Xu and Junshu also greeted happily, and Aman was the first to take out two pieces of hemp candy from his pocket and stuff them into Lin Xu and Junshu's mouths, causing the two to hug the little girl and kiss them again and again, making Ah Fu and Junyan angry.

Back at home, Qingshan and Qinghe's family had already gone back, and Lan Ying was cooking, when she heard the sound of a carriage, she came out of the house.

Junshu and Lin Xu helped Junwen unload the car, and then led the horse to walk the horse and drink the horse, while Qiu Chen washed the hands and faces of a few children, sent them all to the kang to rest, pulled out the things he bought, took out a rabbit, a bag of snacks, and a bag of sugar and handed it to Lan Ying. He also took out a few wooden hairpins from his arms and beckoned Lan Ying to come and pick them up.

"Let's take a look, I bought a few hairpins, you pick one to wear!"

The women in the village rarely decorate their jewelry, and many of their hair is used to cut it with a branch. There are one or two pieces of silver jewelry in the dowry of the wealthy family, and they are not willing to bring it at all on weekdays, and they will only be used on major festivals. Then he hid it deep at the bottom of the box and kept it for his daughter as a dowry.

Qiu Chen bought a few hairpins, although they were only wooden, the carving was quite exquisite, how could Lan Ying not like it when she saw it. Thinking that the wooden hairpin is not a valuable thing, I was happy in my heart and did not refuse, so I chose it with a smile, and then chose a peach hairpin.

Qiu Chen took it and directly replaced the chopsticks on her head, and praised it repeatedly. Aman next to him also slapped his face, and said happily: "Good-looking, Aunt Lan Ying is good-looking!" ”

Lan Ying happily, reached out and hugged Ah Man and kissed him several times, making the little girl giggle.

Hearing the movement, the bolt and the stone also ran over. Qiu Chen wrapped a ball of maltose with a skewer, and also wrapped it around Lingzhi, Zhi'er, Xiang'er, and Shanzi, and asked the two boys to send it back to their brothers and sisters.

Lan Ying wore a wooden hairpin and went home happily, and Qiu Chen beckoned the family to dinner.

After eating, Qiu Chen began to boil water busily, put the wooden bathtub in the hall, poured half a basin of hot water, first stripped Ah Fu, Junyan, and Junzhang naked, carried them into the bathtub, rubbed and rinsed for a while, washed the skin of a few little monkeys and turned red, then wiped them dry, and carried them into the quilt that had been placed long ago. Then the water was changed and the three older boys were given a bath. When the family finished washing, the original plan was to stay and wash with him, and Aman had already fallen asleep in the bed. Qiu Chen was also a little sleepy and couldn't open his eyes, but he still closed the door and took a bath by himself.

Sitting in the steaming tub, Qiu Chen let out a long sigh of relief. When I used to use the 24-hour shower, I would never have imagined that I would have to toss all night in order to take a shower!

The soaked skin turned white, Qiu Chen quickly rubbed the old mud on his body, rinsed it with clean hot water, dried his body, put on clothes and pants, and washed the dirty clothes of the family with hot water, and took out a basin of dirty water and poured it out, cleaned up the bath, and then climbed onto the kang with cold hands and feet, got into the hot bed of the kang, and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Since coming to this shijie, Qiu Chen finally got what she wanted to take a hot bath, as the dirt was washed away, as if her fit with this body has improved a lot, the whole body and mind are comfortable and relaxed, this sleep is naturally very sweet, and the next day it was unprecedentedly late.

As soon as I opened my eyes, the sky was already bright, and before I looked back, I heard the chirping next to me and lowered the sound of talking, and even a few children woke up.

Qiu Chen felt a little blushing, raised his hand and rubbed his face, got up and dressed, and at the same time beckoned a few children to get dressed and get up. At a glance, I realized that there were only four children lying on the kang, Junyan Junzhang and Afu Aman, and even Junshu's kid got up early.

Walking to the outhouse, the pot is steaming, the embers are still burning in the stove pit, and the light and simple aroma of rice comes out of the pot, which makes people feel a kind of joy and satisfaction freely. I think it was Lin Xu and Junwen Junshu who got up early and even made breakfast.

The corners of Qiu Chen's mouth overflowed with a relieved smile, and he beckoned a few children to wash up together, took the clothes that were washed last night to the yard, and shook off the clothesline. was vigorously pulling the small wrinkles on their clothes, Lin Xu and Junwen Junshu led the horse and came back with a load of fresh grass.

"You were so tired yesterday, why don't you sleep more?" Qiu Chen put the meal on the table with a smile and greeted a few big people.

Lin Xu smiled, Junwen Junshu said that he was not tired, and Junwen said again: "Auntie, Junshu and I went to the pond, Master He started to release water to the lotus pond this morning, saying that after the water is stored, you can grow lotus vegetables after one episode." ”

"Oh, it's been released! Hehe, it seems that we will have hope for the day when we eat lotus vegetables! Qiu Chen smiled, but reminded himself in his heart that he would go to the third grandmother's house later.

On that day, Liu Jincai brought Master He here, and after recognizing the master's family, he said that the Lin family was inconvenient, and took Master He to the third grandmother's house to eat and live. At that time, Qiu Chen was too busy to take care of it, and only asked people to send some rice, noodles, meat and vegetables, and it had been several days in the blink of an eye, and she had been busy for a while, but she almost forgot about this stubble. It's really busy.

The family ate around the table, and they were all full, and Qiu Chen suddenly remembered that this day was the Qingming Festival. That day, Lan Ying's mother-in-law specially reminded her to go to Lin Sheng's grave, and she was so busy that she almost forgot about it.

It seems that she still forgot about the custom of not using fire during the Cold Food Festival!

To go to Lin Sheng's grave, Lin Xu and Ah Fu Aman must go.

So Qiu Chen raised his head and said to Lin Xu: "Second brother, is your school on vacation?" ”

It's just a casual question, and then he was about to ask Lin Xu to ask for leave, but he didn't expect Lin Xu to really nodded: "Yes, Mr. Xu said that sacrificial sweeping is a major matter of filial piety and human ethics, and it should not be neglected!" ”

As soon as he said this, Qiu Chen could only agree.

Nodding, Qiu Chen said, "Okay, after eating, let's go and sweep the sacrifice!" ”

The four Junwen brothers are all sons of the Yang family, so they don't need to go to Lin Sheng's sacrifice. But he also followed, planning that in case my aunt was sad, she would have a good response.

Qiu Chen took a few sacrifices, and went to the county seat yesterday to buy incense and candles and other things, and put two mounds to carry, and Lin Xu and Junwen each carried one. Qiu Chen hugged Aman, Junshu and Junyan Junzhang took Afu and went out together to go to Lin Sheng's grave.

When she was about to go out, Lan Ying's mother-in-law Wang really sent two sets of papier-mâché clothes, both of which were complete with inner and outer clothes, pants, shoes and hats, and it could be seen that it took a lot of effort. Qiu Chen naturally thanked him repeatedly.

Wang relieved a few words, and also instructed: "Looking at the sky, I'm afraid it's raining, you go back, don't get drenched on the road." ”

Qiu Chen took a few children to thank him and walked along the gentle slope to the east.

The Lin family had just settled in Liujiaao more than ten years ago, and there was no ancestral grave, so Lin Sheng's mound was built in a field under the east slope. Lonely next to the loess, there is a willow tree that has sprouted several clusters of goose yellow buds, it is conceivable that in a few years, this willow tree will grow into a willow tree, accompanying this lonely grave next to it.

Along the way, Qiu Chen asked Lin Xu to hug Aman and walk forward, while she led Afu to take a step behind. In any case, it is impossible for Lin Sheng's daughter-in-law Haitang not to even remember her man's grave!

The weather was as Junwen said, gloomy, as if a precious spring rain was brewing.

After Qiu Chen silently followed Lin Sheng, Ah Fu Aman also seemed to feel the heaviness of his mother and uncle, and he was very obedient and silent. The group was so quiet that they didn't even speak a word all the way.

Because the tomb was erected not long ago, the soil was still colored, and there was no withered grass and branches, just a big loess bag, and a few strings of faded paper money were pressed with a green brick on the top, and the wind was trembling. In front of the tomb was a small altar built with blue bricks, and there was not even a tombstone. There are still traces of incense and candles burned on the altar and paper horses when the tomb was erected, which is particularly desolate.

When he arrived at the grave, Lin Xu silently put Aman down, stared at the grave for a moment, turned back to Qiu Chen and said, "Sister-in-law, put the sacrifice on the table." I'll give my brother more soil! ”

20,000 words big, are you satisfied......
