Don't forget, families in the old society tended to have five generations living together and had a large population. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info At that time, people didn't have any extra snacks to eat, let alone go out for a meal once in a while, and grill or something. They eat three meals a day at home. In this way, I still think that 10,000 catties of food is a lot, right?

But......

This price is the price when the supplies are extremely abundant in a good year. Once there is a famine, there will be no green and yellow. There is no difference between gold and silver and broken copper and iron. Countrymen are used to being self-sufficient. Insensitive to market prices. Often by the time they wake up, the price of rice outside has risen to the point where they can't fill their stomachs by selling their children and daughters.

Although there are no obvious fluctuations in food prices at the moment, Cheng Linghui's intuition can be that it will not be long before they rise.

Under the thinking of small farmers, you don't expect these rural people to have a high level of consciousness. I don't know when the money will be scraped together.

Sure enough, after a period of tug-of-war and tug-of-war, the meeting lasted for three days before it was successfully concluded. In the end, it was decided that each family should take at least one tael of silver. It couldn't be less. Because everyone is lucky in their hearts, what if it rains in God? Isn't it a waste of money to have so much grain at that time?

But think about it, the current scene. What if it doesn't rain? has 2,000 catties of grain at the bottom, and he is not so flustered.

The villagers of Chengjiazhuang are living a decent life. A family of silver or two is really not a problem. Occasionally, if it is really difficult, Cheng Linghui will silently cushion it. One hundred and thirty families in the village collected one hundred and thirty taels of silver.

That's 2,600 stone grain. A carriage can pull up to 1,500 catties, and this grain needs almost 20 wagons to pull. Moreover, this thing should be done quietly, not publicly.

Although most of the people in Chengjiazhuang are dragging their feet, but when it comes to who is outside, they are familiar with each other, and they will know how much money they make.

It's really hard to find someone in the village who is stronger than Cheng Linghui. So, the sixth master asked Cheng Linghui to take two older and more serious people to Kaizhou Mansion Zhangluo to sell grain.

The three of them got up early in the morning, and set off at dawn.

From Shaxi County to Kaizhou Mansion, most of them have to pass by the porcelain kiln outside the south gate of Kaizhou Mansion.

When Cheng Linghui and the three of them arrived at Kaizhou Mansion in the carriage, it was already midday. In the past two years, there has been a drought and there is little production in the field. Those kiln burners didn't have a good time either. I burned the kiln more diligently, thinking about finding more livelihood on this kiln.

In order to buy a good price for their own porcelain, those private kiln heads often wait for customers outside the mouth of the porcelain kiln. As mentioned earlier, Cheng Linghui is one of the few customers who has a fair price and a happy business.

Although she has not been to this belt very much in recent years, those people remember her more clearly than their own father. Seeing Cheng Linghui from a distance, a large group of people immediately rushed up to surround the carriage.

The two villagers who followed Cheng Linghui were shocked when they saw this situation for the first time. He said in a row: "I don't pull porcelain, I don't pull porcelain." ”

How can those people listen, the horses leading the horses, the carts pushing the carts? took Cheng Linghui and his party into the porcelain kiln.

Cheng Linghui was already surprised by the formation. Standing in the car and hugging his fists to everyone: "Thanks to the love of the big guys, I am grateful in my heart." But I really have something else to do today, what if we meet another day? ”

Suddenly, I heard a rough voice say: "I can't enter the door, it's not a friend." ”

Cheng Linghui raised her eyes and looked, and Li Tou'er walked over with a shy belly. The crowd hurried to make way for him.

Li Tou'er looked up at Cheng Linghui: "Third master, come down." Why do you want me to carry you? ”

Cheng Linghui shook her head secretly, knowing that she couldn't leave at noon today. Although she doesn't do this draggy business anymore, other people in Chengjiazhuang will eat this bowl of rice in the future. In addition to herself, she is now pulling two villagers from the same village in the car. But it's not good to offend the head of this official kiln. So he jumped out of the car and said to Li Touer: "Long time no see, don't come unharmed?" ”

Li Tou'er waved his hand: "Our brothers and sons don't fix that nothing." Let's go, my brother invites you to drink. I couldn't help but say, I picked up Cheng Linghui and left.

Cheng Linghui said strangely: "Aren't you married a daughter-in-law, why are you still doing that?" ”

Li Touer shouted: "Which set, which set? I'm just asking you for a drink, what's going on in your head? Saying that, he leaned in front of Cheng Linghui and said in a low voice: "Did my brother and sister not serve you well at night?" ”

Cheng Linghui kicked on his fat ass: "What nonsense." ”

Li Tou'er covered his ass and shouted, "Are you really kicking?" ”

Cheng Linghui said: "If you are so unserious again, I will leave." ”

Li Tou'er raised his hand: "Okay, I won't say anything." As soon as I heard the commotion outside, I knew it was you. He came out with his shoes on. Sure enough, it's you. ”

While talking, the two of them had already walked to the old restaurant. Li Tou'er let Cheng Linghui in, and the two fellow villagers also wanted to sit at the table, but Li Tou'er stopped them: "Don't worry, don't worry, you two will stand on the side first." ”

Cheng Linghui didn't know why: "Li Tou'er, what the hell are you doing?" ”

Li Tou'er learned to sing, and straightened out that there was no hair crown at all, and dusted off his body. Respectfully to Cheng Linghui is to bow three times. There are still words in his mouth: "Thank you for the blessing of the third master, thank you for the blessing of the third master." If he pinched three sticks of incense in his hand, Cheng Linghui would be able to regard himself as a bodhisattva in the temple.

After Li Tou'er finished worshipping, he waved his big hand and beckoned Cheng Linghui's two fellow villagers: "You can sit at the table." ”

Cheng Linghui looked at Li Tou'er: "You're fine, right?" ”

Li Tou'er pulled out a big smile: "Of course there's nothing wrong with me, I'm too good to be better." ”

Cheng Linghui couldn't help laughing: "Then what are you doing with me?" ”

Li Touer said seriously: "In order for me to get married as soon as possible, my old lady doesn't know how many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas I worshipped. When I met you, you married me a daughter-in-law, not to mention, my daughter-in-law gave birth to two big fat boys to me last month. Li Tou'er laughed as she spoke, how strange it was.

Cheng Linghui said: "I still said that there is nothing wrong, this is all confused." Two big fat boys. Didn't you wake up? ”

Li Tou'er couldn't say anything with a smile, stretched out his two fingers and nodded: "Two ...... It's really two...... Twin ......"

"My mother." Cheng Linghui was also happy: "You are lucky." ”

Li Tou'er smiled: "I didn't hit the luck, I hit you." You are better than the Buddha and the Bodhisattva Turin, who do you say I don't worship you? He laughed and laughed. Cheng Linghui's two fellow villagers who listened were stunned for a moment, and each said secretly: "These three Huizi are different from others when they play children, I didn't expect there to be such magical powers." ”

When the two returned to the village, they told their mother-in-law about it. Of course, adding oil and vinegar is indispensable, and it is very mysterious. It's as if they saw Cheng Linghui cast a spell to conjure up a daughter-in-law for Li Tou'er, and let his daughter-in-law give birth to twins.

One to ten, ten to hundred. There are people who believe it. Those who were eager to ask for a son even deliberately ran to Cheng Linghui to bow down. Later, the villagers raised funds and built a temple to send her grandmother to the south of Cheng Linghui's house. Of course, that's for later.

Right now, Li Tou'er only cares about shouting. Let the old dishes bring all the good wine and good food. He wants to invite Cheng Linghui, a living immortal.

Lao Cai and Cheng Linghui are familiar with each other. At the beginning of the bandits, Wu Moming occupied his shop, and he also engraved words with a piece of winter melon, buried under the noodles and sent a message to Cheng Linghui. It's just that the noodles lack oil and salt, so they don't taste very good.

Now seeing the old vegetables, Cheng Linghui is also a little happy for the rest of her life, and said with a smile: "Oil can be saved, but don't even let go of salt." ”

Who knew that when a word came out, the old vegetable suddenly burst into tears. 'Plop' knelt in front of Cheng Linghui, and Cheng Linghui jumped away in shock: "Old Cai, what are you doing?" How can you kneel down to this junior? That's going to cost me a lifetime. ”

The old vegetable nose was up, and he began to cry with tears: "Third master, I can't hold it in my heart, I don't know who to talk to......"

Li Tou'er pulled him: "What are you doing here?" I finally saw the third master once, do you fix this? ”

The old vegetable was lifted up by Li Tou'er as if he were carrying a chicken and pressed it to the stool. The shriveled little old man was crying breathlessly. It's very sad to watch.

Cheng Linghui couldn't say anything when she saw him like that, so she set her eyes on Li Tou'er. Li Tou'er sighed: "This is a whole matter." I wanted to be happy......" So I talked about the old dishes.

This Lao Cai is a foreigner and has been at the mouth of the porcelain kiln for many years. Even the accent has changed. He originally had a daughter. Who knew that there were bandits the year before last, and her daughter let the bandits cause trouble. Later, the bandits were wiped out by the government. The father and daughter should have come out of it. Who knew that the woman was coincidentally pregnant. In the old society, medicine was underdeveloped, and abortion was more dangerous than childbirth.

Lao Cai only has such a girl, so he is naturally reluctant to let his daughter take risks. After waiting for half a year and nine months, the girl gave birth to a son. The old vegetable is going to throw the kid away. The girl was reluctant. The father and daughter quarreled. The girl hanged herself in a fit of rage. Leave a child waiting to be fed.

Li Tou'er shook his head as he spoke: "God-damned robber." ”

Cheng Linghui immediately remembered Wu Moming's name and asked, "What about the child?" ”

Li Tou'er pushed the old vegetables: "Go and bring it to the third master to see." ”

The old dish cried and went. After a while, he walked out with a child who was less than two years old. Cheng Linghui looked at it, and the child was clean up and down, which showed that the old vegetables were taken care of with heart. Looking at the child's appearance again, he is about a little more like his mother, and there is no trace of Wu Moming.

Lao Cai pushed the child and asked the child to kowtow to Cheng Linghui. Cheng Linghui hurriedly stopped: "Don't, don't." "While groping around on my body, there is nothing I can handle. So he took out a string of copper coins and handed it to the child: "Buy you candy to eat." ”

Lao Cai didn't shirk it, hugged the child on his lap, and said, "I think I have been friends with the third master and Li Touer for more than ten years. ”

Li Tou'er nodded and interrupted him: "Old Cai, you can't let our brothers sit here and listen to your complaints." What about wine? What about the dish? ”

Lao Cai is usually an honest and introverted person, and he is quite a bit cowardly. Today, I don't know why, I didn't sell Li Tou'er's account, and said: "You have all the wine and food, you take it yourself." ”

Li Tou'er was also polite. I really got up and walked to the stove to eat the whole thing.

At this time, other guests came to the door. Lao Cai didn't get up to greet him, and said, "Everyone, from now on, this small shop will be closed." You're here. When the guests heard this, they all left.

Cheng Linghui asked, "Old Cai, are you leaving?" ”

"Where are you going?" Lao Cai wiped the tears on his face: "Third master, look at me now, what else is there besides this child who doesn't know whose father it is?" To tell you the truth, if it weren't for this child, I would have followed my daughter with a rope. As he spoke, he burst into tears.

"Third master, I'm old, and I don't know how long I can raise this child. If I die, what will this child do? ”

Cheng Linghui frowned: "It's true." ”

"Third master, I don't think about it. Among the people I know, you and Li Touer can be trusted. ”

Cheng Linghui lowered her head in the eyes of the old Cai, the old vegetable is to support the orphan. It was a child, not a kitten or a puppy. Once you say yes, it's a burden for a lifetime.

At this time, Li Tou'er came over with wine and food, and while putting it on the table, he said, "If you want me to say that you are all nonsense." Aren't you still alive? ”

The old dish stopped talking.

Li Tou'er said to Cheng Linghui's two fellow villagers: "Don't be stunned, go to the stove and give the whole two hot dishes." I'll talk to the third master. ”

Those two people are a little older, and they often come and go at the mouth of the porcelain kiln, and they also know Li Touer. knows that he is an official. When he heard this, he got up and went down to the stove.

Li Touer poured wine for Cheng Linghui, and by the way, he also poured old vegetables. said: "Old Cai, don't blame me for Lao Li speaking mercilessly. You old boy just wants to get away with it. You want to entrust your grandson to me and the third master, and go to 'over there' to enjoy the tranquility by yourself. No way. As he spoke, he didn't forget to greet Cheng Linghui to drink and eat.

The old man drank sullenly, but still didn't speak. It's a lot like his personality.

Li Tou'er took a bite of food, and said vaguely while chewing: "This person, what it should be, what it should be, there is a fixed number." Believe it or not, I believe it anyway. Your daughter is dead, and it is quite a headache to leave you such an inexplicable child. But who can say clearly, is it not that you committed sin in your last life, and you will be retributed in this life?

If you want me to say, I will carry my own business. Don't think about anything else, just think of yourself as a cow and just close your eyes and pull forward. One day you really can't pull it, and you can't get up from it. My Lao Li and the third master will give you a follow-up, and it can be regarded as a familiar relationship. If you put on a posture of supporting the orphan at every turn, then no one should be yours. "Li Tou'er is not a big official, and he is not even an official, but he is the head of the kiln at the mouth of the porcelain kiln. He has always been straight and unpleasant.

The old dishes don't talk back, anyway, they just drink with their heads bored. (To be continued.) )
