126 Leeches make money
"Oh, it's so cross, then I'm going to know it even more!"
Zhao Qiushui's prejudice against Xia Mujian is not ordinary, and after listening to Wang Shoucai's words, he was even more angry, twisted the handkerchief in his palm into a twist, and poked it fiercely with his well-trimmed nails, as if she was holding Xia Mujin in her hand.
Seeing this, the Zhou family all showed a smirk and a successful smile, and the bottom of their eyes was even more dyed with excitement, Xia Mu Hibiscus, Xia Mu Hibiscus, blame you for not being a man, this time, you have to die without a place to be buried.
to vent the suffering I have endured for so many days!
At this moment, Xia Muhibiscus is instructing everyone in the field under the scorching sun how to use this threshing machine, plus the previous three, a total of six units have been made, but today four units have been dispatched.
She asked the villagers to pool money to buy a few bottles of this engine oil, after all, this thing is not cheap in this era, and according to their current conditions, they can't help so many people, and the villagers can understand it, and they are willing to pay for it.
Xia Mujin didn't let them suffer, he took the money and bought it back, and then calculated according to the average population, more refunds and less compensation, this thing is not used this time, it has to be used every year, they don't suffer a loss when it is calculated horizontally and vertically, and the villagers are even more in favor of her fairness and justice.
Natsuki also told them to tie the freshly cut rice into handfuls, and then stack them in small piles, and when it was time to thresh, they would directly hold them and put them next to the threshing machine to form a large pile, which was easy and time-saving.
Everyone was speechless at her guidance, one by one lived for decades, only knew how to do things, but never thought of opportunism, no wonder this child made a big change in the family in just a few months.
Threshing is a physical work, generally young men are in charge, and women cut rice, so that men and women are matched, and the work is not tired, and the elderly can help with the loading of grain, cooking, and taking care of children, so that the two are not wrong, and unnecessary contradictions are avoided.
"Hibiscus girl, this thing is much lighter to step on, you are really our great benefactor!"
The villagers in their sixties and tenties were stepping on the threshing machine with their sons, only to hear the rumbling sound, the father and son were already sweating, but they were still very happy, and they said loudly with wet eyes when they saw the old man Xia Mujian.
His family's field is not big, about three sides, early in the morning the family set out, two-thirds of the rice cut, the father and son began to thresh, the women continue to cut, at this moment, this is more than an hour before noon, there is only a small pile left under the feet of the foot.
In the past, even if you wait for three or four days, you may not be able to come to your own fields, and sometimes you have to get drenched in rain when the weather is bad, and the rainy millet can not be dried in time, and in the end the millet turns black, and the rice does not taste like rice.
Moreover, no matter what your harvest is, the Wang family will come to the door to harvest the grain, and pick the good ones to harvest.
Xia Mujin smiled at the old man casually, praised a few words such as his family's full grain harvest, and went to several other houses to take a look, and finally wandered to his own field.
She is the most idle in the whole farming, Ming Yi they didn't let her work in the field, and let people carry the threshing machine out early, she was familiar with those people, until they took the tools to work in the field before they remembered that this was not the group of people who helped the family harvest before?
It turned out that Shen Muhan had already arranged the matter, no wonder she said that she didn't have to interfere in the grain harvest when she left, just watch from the sidelines.
Before going out, she boiled mung bean porridge and soaked it in salt and ginger water, and asked her brother and father to bring it when they came, and when she arrived, this mung bean porridge had already been left in an empty bucket, and there was still half a bucket of water.
Seeing her coming, everyone was very respectful, and collectively formed a upright military posture, and said in unison: "Good master, master!" ”
They seem to have practiced, straight like a tree, their eyes do not squint, their voices are neat and loud, and their ears are buzzing, Xia Muhibiscus was stunned for a moment, and only replied embarrassedly for a long time:
"Hello everyone, great work!"
This scene is similar to her in the army, except that this time the majestic leader is her.
However, their movement attracted the villagers who were working, and everyone looked at them curiously, and the women looked at them with bright eyes, looking at a dozen young people like mothers-in-law and sons-in-law, and the more they looked, the more satisfied they became.
Xia Mujin patted his forehead with a smile, thinking that this scene was a little funny, but fortunately, they were not frightened, but lowered their heads and concentrated on their own work.
Ignoring their strange eyes.
The village chief blushed at the moment, extremely embarrassed, and knew in his heart what everyone was thinking, these dozen or so children stood up casually and looked better than the baby in the village, their bodies were also strong, and their skin was like a female baby, but the dress alone would be extraordinary, for Xia Mujian, they had already had their previous sympathy turned into worship, so the people she knew would no longer be bad people, and after a pause, she yelled at everyone:
"What do you see, do you want the millet at home?"
When he spoke, everyone also smiled awkwardly, and then dispersed in a hurry.
Seeing everyone leaving, Xia Mujin casually chatted with Ming Yi and the others, looked at the operation of the threshing machine, and told Ming Yi some matters to pay attention to, and then asked them to go home early for dinner and left.
When she got home, she began to cook lunch, and as soon as she washed the rice, Songzi ran in panting, and when she saw her sister, she said breathlessly:
"Sister, the Wang family brought a large group of people to the house, sister, do you want to hide?"
Songzi knew that the person the Wang family had to deal with had always been her sister, and as for themselves, they didn't have that mind.
And this time they have a lot of people, and they are aggressive, and they are not good at first sight.
Seeing Songzi's little face flushed because of the sprint, a pair of eyes full of worry staring straight at her, Xia Muji's heart surged with monstrous anger for no reason, is this Wang family full of food and nothing to do?
As soon as she put down the rice washing basin in her hand, Wang Shoucai's rough voice sounded outside.
"Xia Mujian, you give me a master, what's the matter with the threshing machine? Are you determined to steal business with Master Ben? ”
"Sister"
The family is busy now, my mother and the sixth aunt also went out just now, and now his sister and brother, Songzi is anxious, looking at Xia Muhibiscus worriedly, I wanted her to run through the back door, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Xia Muhibiscus stopped her.
"Don't be afraid, Songzi, your sister is not what it used to be, they can't help me, you just wait to see a good show! Well? ”
It seems that the Wang family is also in a hurry this time, she has disturbed his two businesses in a row, irrigation and threshing, plus his family has been in trouble, with the Wang family will definitely try their best to retaliate, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.
At that time, she casually fished out a wooden bucket and collapsed it on her arm, and winked at Matsuko, who was still in a daze, and Matsuko saw the bucket in her hand, and couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise, and was about to speak, but she heard Xia Muhibiscus say in a somewhat hurried voice:
"Songzi, hurry up, people have paid a deposit, I didn't find what they wanted before they arrived, but I have to accompany fifty times, that's two hundred and five taels of silver, even if I sell you and me, I can't sell so many silver taels."
And she rushed out of the house with the bucket in a hurry, anxiously urging pine nuts while running, ignoring Wang Shoucai and the others at all, and the sound outside the courtyard just now didn't seem to be heard.
Songzi lowered his eyes, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he ran out with Xia Mujian, and said in annoyance as he ran:
"Sister, it's pine nuts that are not good, this is not the last time I saw you catch a lot of leeches, and the boss said that this leech can be used as medicine, and accepted us at a high price, I wondered, if I catch a little more, will I be able to make more money, how do you know that this thing is so difficult to catch."
Last time he netted a fish, but there were two big leeches on the body of the fish, he was still a little afraid of that thing, because this thing sucked blood, and it was soft, especially ugly, not only he was afraid, but also his former sister was afraid, and this thing couldn't be killed, it could still live if it was broken, and it became two, that day my sister said that this is a valuable medicinal material, and to die of this thing, there are only two ways, one is to burn, the other is to turn it inside and out, and then use the roots of the grass to rise and put it under the scorching sun.
At that time, he was curious, this blood-sucking thing can also be a valuable medicine, as a result, my sister really explained to him one by one, besides, this leech occasionally sucks people's blood and can also suck away the filth and poisonous gas on people, but if you suck too much, it is not a good thing, and this leech is divided into fields and rivers, and the river is generally poisonous, and it will itch and swell after sucking on people's skin, and if you suck too much, the consequences may be unimaginable.
At this moment, seeing that his sister carried the bucket, he cleverly made an excuse.
Hearing Matsuko's words, Xia Mujin was a little surprised, Matsuko has always been cheerful and clever, this time I didn't expect to be able to use the basic common sense she taught him to act with her, hehe, it's really teachable.
Because she ran in a hurry, and directly crossed Wang Shoucai and the others without anyone in her eyes, but in the afterglow, she seemed to see a different figure, she turned around, but saw that the person was also staring at her with a pair of eyes.
Zhao Qiushui
She still knew this name from Ye Feng, but she always remembered it, because this woman was too arrogant and inflammatory, and she didn't like it very much.
She said, why did the Wang family start jumping again, it turned out that they were looking for a backstage.
I have always heard that the Wang family has lived in a nobleman, and it turns out that this nobleman is her.
Then she should have been hit by a nameless carriage that time.
Xu is that she is too famous during this time, and the Wang family is thinking of ways to deal with her everywhere, this Zhao Qiushui must have heard her name before finding it.
And the Wang family naturally won't let go of such a good opportunity, and his family still relies on the villagers to get oil and water.
The corners of Xia Mujian's mouth crossed a cold arc, giving Zhao Qiushui a defiant and contemptuous look, and walked towards the river without looking back.
Wang Shoucai and the others looked at each other, and then, I saw Wang Shoucai wave his fat hand and shouted:
"Follow, I want to see if this girl has the ability to stop her from grabbing those things, no matter what method she uses."
said, but leaned over and made a gesture of invitation to Zhao Qiushui, Zhao Qiushui was already full of anger at the moment, this Xia Mu Hibiscus was too blind, and dared to despise her.
didn't wait for Wang Shoucai to speak, he strode away with his skirt.
"Mother, mother, come out quickly, this summer hibiscus is going to be repaired today, look, the Wang family has brought a large team of people over, besides, this group surnamed Shen is not at home, this time, she can't escape."
The family also planted a few acres of land, but they were reluctant to harvest, in previous years, the Wang family called a few people to help her family harvest together, this year, of course, there will be no exception, so when other villagers are busy, their family is at home to rest, from time to time to go to Feng's house, seize the opportunity to discuss the marriage of Feng Liulang and Cailian, anyway, the dowry is not satisfied, her family will not marry.
Xia Mujin made a threshing machine has long been rumored, because the last time the mud was attacked by the water snake, she abandoned Wang Shoucai and went ashore first, the Wang family responded to her family, Meng also pointed to her nose and scolded, of course, she didn't dare to scold this matter, for fear that the warrior would turn his face.
Of course, if she had come again, she would have gone ashore first.
Is the life of his king the keeper of wealth a life, and her life not a life?
Besides, didn't it be confirmed later that this water snake was not poisonous, but just a skin injury.
She doesn't have a few taels of meat on her body, if she is bitten, she will definitely be very strict, Wang Shoucai is different, this fat all over her body, losing a few catties may be a good thing for him.
Wu was chattering and reprimanding Zhou Gui's face and Zhou Cailian, and when he heard You's shout, he immediately closed his mouth, his eyes were full of light, and he grabbed Zhou Guilian and walked out of the house.
Zhou Gui's face has been locked up in the firewood room for several days, and he has lost a lot of weight, seeing that Zhou Cailian was raised for white and fat, the resentment in his heart is even deeper, besides, just now the milk let her see it, saying that there are thousands of men in the world, and she can't destroy herself for such a man.
Zhou Cailian poured tea for her diligently, and she was free in front of her milk, and she nodded humbly about whatever her milk said, and her eyes were even more busy with studying.
I don't know what happens these days that can make a person completely change.
It is said that a friend's wife cannot be bullied, but can a sister-in-law be bullied?
She's not going to just leave it at that, just laugh now and see how long you can laugh.
And Natsuki hibiscus
She won't let it go, so even if Wu Shi held her hand a little too hard, and even pinched into the flesh of her arm through her sleeve nails, she still didn't shout or scream, but she still greeted her with a smile.
"Mother, milk, I'll go too, I want to see what will happen to that practitioner."
When they went out, the Wu clan slammed them shut, and bolted them with bolts, and was just about to lock Zhou Guilian into the firewood room, but heard Zhou Guilian's words of pleading.
The two sisters are the culprit of the trouble today, and it is estimated that Guilian now wants to see the tragic fate of Xia Muhibiscus more than herself, so she agreed.
Randomly, the three of them rushed to the river.
"Sister, there, isn't there one, it's so big."
Matsuko and Natsuki Hibiscus both squatted on the edge of the riverbank, staring intently at the flowing river, Matsuko even pointed to a leech as big as a thumb, held back his nausea, and pretended to be excited.
Xia Mujin followed his fingers to look, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, he smiled at the acquaintance of Matsuko, and blinked his eyes quietly, that is, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go into the water to catch them.
As long as this leech is used in medicine, as long as there is a little common sense, she knows it, but she doesn't know that she has to catch it to make money, I have to say, this summer hibiscus is really a business material, as long as it is alive, whether it is climbing on the shore or swimming in the water, she can turn them into silver.
This makes them both envious and hateful.
Wang Shoucai even calculated the deposit paid by the other party when Xia Mujin said those words, which should be at least five taels.
Five taels may be just a small amount of money in his eyes, but for these poor ghosts, it is more than half a year's income, how can he let go of such a good opportunity to watch this silver fall into Xia Muhibiscus's pocket.
Therefore, before Xia Muhibiscus went into the water, he waved at Liu Mazi and the others, and shouted:
"Catch, I'll catch it for the master, see one catch one, if you don't catch a few catties today, it will be less than one percent before this month."
When Liu Mazi and the others heard this, their faces changed, and they almost spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and the money was deducted this month, so there was really no more, and they didn't scold their daughter-in-law to death when they went back, not only did they not give affection, but they didn't even give them food.
So, not daring to delay at all, they jumped into the water one by one, and reached out to grab the black swimmer when they saw it.
Xia Mujian was stirred up by them like this, so he deliberately sat on the ground, looked at Liu Mazi with angry eyes, and wanted to scold but couldn't.
"Xia Mujian, you still want to be shameless, you can think of this kind of little trick."
Zhao Qiushui's target was Xia Mujian, so he didn't care that Liu Mazi and the others couldn't catch one in the water for a long time and sighed again and again, at this moment, he looked domineering, his hands were on his waist, he stared at Xia Mujian coldly, and said sarcastically in a cold voice.
This Zhao Qiushui is half a head taller than Xia Muhibiscus, so she has an advantage in this regard, plus there are a few thugs behind her, Xu is specially designed to protect her, and Xia Muhibiscus is more like an ant.
Hearing this, Xia Mujin shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said proudly:
"These are not important, the important thing is that someone believes it, what, Miss Zhao, you are not a person who is short of money, do you also want to mix in and make a profit?"
Looking at the people in the river, Xia Mujin sat on the ground and didn't get up, and he looked even more pitiful when he spoke.
And Wang Shoucai stood a little far away, and he didn't know what they were talking about, but when he saw Xia Mujin's frightened and crying appearance, he was extremely proud in his heart.
"Hmph, pediatrics, even if you can really make money, just a few taels of silver, Miss Ben will be able to see it."
Zhao Qiushui snorted coldly, deliberately showed the jade bracelet on his wrist, and smiled scornfully.
Besides, her family wants gold and silver, and it is a big joke that she will take a fancy to this method of making money.
"Miss Zhao, I know you have a grudge against you for robbing your business last time, but if you want to share this money with the Wang family, don't trouble me, besides, I just received a deposit, and I haven't delivered it yet, you just need to let your people go into the water to catch it, you can divide it equally, this thing is very expensive, if it meets the requirements and quantity, it will be at least two hundred taels of silver."
Two hundred taels
When Wu and You heard this, their eyes lit up, isn't it a hundred taels to divide it equally?
I really don't know what shit luck this Xia Mujin has taken, and all the good things have happened to her, but fortunately, the Wang family is out this time, otherwise the fat in the mouth will be gone.
And who deliberately amplified Xia Mujian's words, just to let everyone here know, besides, which of these people is either a lover of money or a few people from the Wu family are also here, so you can fight in the nest.
However, when Xia Mujin said this, everyone basically believed it, because she has been making money like this recently, one time it is a fish, one time it is a snail, and another time it is a broad bean, and every time she returns with a full load.
"Xia Mu Hibiscus, you are looking for death!"
Zhao Qiushui was still a little sensible, and instantly understood Xia Mujian's attention, and even stretched out his legs to kick in anger.
Natsuki pretended to be frightened and shrunk into a ball, and exclaimed:
"Miss Zhao, you can't be so greedy, you want to swallow these two hundred taels alone."
"Alone! No way. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Wu and You rolling up their sleeves and spitting out a few words, so they rushed over to this side, and naturally there was no Zhao Qiushui in their eyes, Xia Muhibiscus saw this, and hurriedly hugged Zhao Qiushui's kicking leg, Zhao Qiushui didn't stand firm for a while, plus Xia Muhibiscus pushed her to the side, and was just knocked down the river by Youshi and Wu who rushed up.
Seeing this, Xia Mujin got up slowly, clapped his palms, and randomly put the bucket into the river to wash, and in less than a moment, the river turned red-
