The ancients called ginseng a "mallet", and Goryeo produced ginseng, so it was called Goryeo stick. Mu Fushu is very strange, and Ah Zhu actually knows ginseng at a young age. Ah Zhu snorted and said, "Sister, this mallet doll is so big." ”

"How do you know this mallet doll?" Mu Fushu wrapped the ginseng in his arms with two large leaves.

Ah Zhu lifted half a basket of mushrooms and said, "I went to the pharmacy with Daddy and saw that the mallet doll was so small, only as thick as Ah Zhu's fingers." ”

Mu Fu was sparse. But this pig's memory is really good, the ginseng with the thickness of her fingers is compared with the one in her arms, the gap is not a little bit, this child has a future!

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, Mu Fushu pulled Ah Zhu down the mountain in a hurry, and warned him as he walked that he must not tell others about the mallet doll, Ah Zhu nodded: "This is the secret of Ah Zhu and Ah Sister." ”

When she was about to get down the mountain, Mu Fushu bumped into a person because she lowered her head and pulled a pig, politely, she apologized repeatedly, and the person hummed and walked straight up the mountain. Mu Fushu glanced back, it should be a boy who was not a few years older than her, wearing a black coarse cloth shirt, a pair of gray pants on the lower body, no patches, and clean clothes, his hair pinned with a bamboo hairpin, and a bow on his body. It looks like he's hunting in the mountains.

When the two went home, Mu Fushu took out the ginseng, dug a small pit next to the food sent by the villagers in the kitchen, and washed his hands and scooped a bowl of vegetable porridge for Ah Zhu.

After the two finished drinking, Mu Fushu washed the dishes, seeing that Ah Zhu was so dirty, he wanted to boil water to help him take a bath, but there was no big pot at home, how long would a small clay pot be burned? sighed, washed Ah Pig's hand and face, and let him play. I went to the room to get a sewing basket and picked a rag to embroider. I hope that the eldest lady has left her embroidery skills, so that she can practice less.

After embroidering for a while, Mu Fushu breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he was a little rusty at first, and he poked his hand several times, and then it was slowly smoothed, and he actually embroidered a small flower, which looked quite exquisite. Mu Fushu couldn't help humming a song. Ah Zhu ran in and shouted with a smile: "It's so good, Sister Louder!" ”

Mu Fushu was also very happy, and sang loudly: "The bird leads the way in front, and the wind blows to us......"

A loud voice came from outside the door: "Is it the eldest lady singing?" It's so nice. ”

Mu Fushu put down the needle and thread and welcomed him out, it was the daughter-in-law of the village chief who I met yesterday. She carried a large magnetic basin in her hand and walked in quickly. Ah Zhu and Mu Fushu saluted uprightly and shouted, "Big Mama." ”

The eldest grandmother laughed: "These two babies are so good-looking." Come and eat. ”

Mu Fushu took the porcelain vase and thanked him, and said embarrassedly: "We have already eaten, and A-Niang left the meal." ”

The eldest grandmother thought about it, took the porcelain basin and went into the kitchen, poured the vegetables and rice in the basin into the clay pot at home, and said to Mu Fushu: "Eat it hot again at night." ”

Mu Fushu thanked her again, and the eldest grandmother went back with the porcelain basin.

Mu Fushu called Ah Zhu over and continued to teach him to memorize the ninety-nine multiplication formula. Ah Zhu actually carried it all out, Mu Fushu was happy, and took out a piece of fruit candy and stuffed it into his mouth. Ah Zhu chewed the candy, salivated from eating, and said while eating: "This is the secret of Ah Zhu and Ah Sister, Ah Zhu doesn't say it." ”

Mu Fushu laughed, in an inexplicably good mood,

Before the sun was in the middle of the day, about eleven o'clock, the village chief's ox cart returned. Mu Zhongjun and Lin got out of the car excitedly, there were a lot of things piled up on the car, and the village chief's eldest Lang Erlang helped move them down.

Mu Fushu looked at their appearance and knew that the rent was coming, it seems that there are many good people in this Mengyang City, well, one side of the water and soil and one side of the people, it seems that the village where the Mu family stayed is not good in terms of water and soil, so there are so many best.

Da Lang Erlang helped unload the goods and went back with a large piece of fat pork that Lin had forced into them. Mu Fushu saw that the Lin family had bought a bag of rice, and he wanted to know the price of this era, so he asked, "How much is this rice a bucket?" ”

Lin smiled: "One hundred and fifty wen a bucket, which is cheaper than my hometown." ”

Mu Fushu calculated that a bucket is thirty catties, one catty is five cents, and one tael of silver can buy two hundred catties, that is to say, one tael of silver is equivalent to about 1,600 yuan in modern times.

Mu Zhongjun moved all the bottles and cans into the kitchen, and Lin took down two large quilts. Seeing Ah Zhu and Mu Fu looking at each other, they couldn't help but feel a little sad: "Cotton here is also cheaper, only 300 wen per catty." These two quilts weigh four pounds, and they won't be cold in winter in the future. ”

Three hundred wen for a pound of cotton! Mu Fushu was a little surprised. It turns out that cotton is already available at this time, but it is so expensive that it is worth the price of modern silk quilts.

Mu Zhongjun and Lin went to the kitchen to heat porridge, saw the rice in the clay pot, and knew that the eldest sister-in-law had come, and they were a little embarrassed. This rice is still not commonly eaten by ordinary people, and it is mixed with grains and cooked together. The sister-in-law brought rice and cabbage, that is, Chinese cabbage cooked together, and if you look closely, there are diced fatty meat in it. Ah Zhu smelled the aroma of hot rice and ate another small bowl. Mu Fushu was not interested in fatty meat and did not eat it. While they were eating, I went to the room and ate some cherries.

After eating, Mu Zhongjun was going to use the cut back trees to make tables and chairs, Mu Fushu asked Ah Zhu to go outside to watch, and he went to the stove to dig out the ginseng buried in the ground. Lin opened the leaves and saw such a large ginseng tree, and screamed in fright. Fortunately, Mu Zhongjun calmed down, took the ginseng and looked at it again, and asked where Mu Fushu came from. Mu Fushu stared at him with wide eyes and said innocently: "Ah Zhu and I went to pick mushrooms, and when we saw seven or eight strange leaves growing on the ground, we dug them down, and then Ah Zhu said that this was a mallet doll." ”

Mu Zhongjun remembered that he had taken Ah Zhu to the pharmacy and saw a few small mallets, but he didn't expect that the eldest lady was so lucky to dig such a big one, not to mention eight hundred years, and the hair was intact, which was worth at least two or three thousand taels of silver!

Mu Fushu looked at Mu Zhongjun, Mu Zhongjun looked at the Lin family, and then looked at the mallet in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Sell it, sell it and save all the money for the eldest lady as a dowry." ”

Mu Fushu fainted. An eight-year-old girl saves her dowry, what a joke. Even if she really wants a dowry, what does she have in her space? She is here to improve her living conditions and living environment! The ginseng that took out the old nose with great effort is not used for money, why is she still taking it out?

Thinking of this, she looked envious: "I don't want a dowry, I want to live in a big house, sleep in a big bed, and have a fragrant and soft bedding!" ”

Lin thought of something, hugged her in his arms, and choked up: "Okay, let's live in a big house and sleep in a fragrant and soft big bed."

Mu Zhongjun was silent for a long time, nodded to the Lin family, and said, "I will go to Mengyang City tomorrow to sell mallets and build houses...... It's up to the eldest mother. ”

Lin also nodded: "The eldest lady is weak, and she can't be asked to endure hardships anymore, so she listens to her." ”

So Mu Zhongjun and the Lin family agreed, Mu Fushu was satisfied, and Ah Zhushun outside the door completed the sentry task and was also proud. The afternoon was spent in great harmony in Mu Zhongjun's banging and beating.

That night, Mu Fushu proposed to sleep alone, but Lin only hesitated a little and agreed. The straw on the ground was spread thicker, and the two new quilts were covered with one bed, but Mu Fushu stopped them, so he still spread the old quilt on the straw, took a new quilt cover, and asked Lin to take it to their room. Ah Zhu was a little unhappy because he couldn't sleep with his sister, and Lin bluffed him a few words before going to his room.

In ancient times, people went to bed after dark. Mu Fushu knew that it was actually less than seven o'clock at night, and even if she usually paid attention to self-cultivation, she only slept at eleven o'clock. Lin helped her wash her face, hands and feet, closed the door and went out. Because the wall had not yet been repaired, Lin asked Mu Fushu to bolt the door from the inside. Mu Fu couldn't ask for it, and as soon as Lin left, he bolted the door and entered the space.

After eating fried rice in the villa, Mu Fushu felt that it was still early. The sowing and harvesting machine has not been tried yet, I looked for the manual and read it, I love to eat rice, so I will plant rice first. The rice seeds are high-quality rice, and there are many of them, and the machine is easy to use, and ten acres of land were sown in less than two hours.

According to the space time, it can be harvested in less than a month. Rice with white flowers! Turning over rice seeds, as well as special rouge rice and purple rice, a variety of acres, and then planting some vegetables. The vegetables completely depend on the small body to come by themselves, so I didn't grow much and had back pain.

Mu Fushu took a comfortable bath, turned on the alarm clock and fell asleep on the big bed in the villa.

The auspicious day of the zodiac favored by the village chief's son was just three days later. Mu Zhongjun quietly went to Mengyang City to sell the ginseng and got two thousand eight hundred taels of silver. He exchanged two thousand five hundred taels for silver tickets, and the rest for ten two hundred and fifty two hundred taels of silver and some broken silver, and when he came back, he handed over two thousand five hundred taels of silver tickets to Lin, who called Mu Fushu and told her that these silver were her dowry, and that she would give them to her when she was older. Mu Fushu said that he knew and asked about building a house.

Mu Zhongjun plans to build two courtyards, the front is the courtyard and three ear rooms on both sides, and the middle is five main rooms, as living kitchens, dining halls, firewood rooms, storage rooms, etc., and five main rooms are built in the back, and four ear rooms are used to live.

Mu Fushu listened to his idea and felt that it was okay.

There are more rooms, but Mu Zhongjun said that if he still wants to buy land, then he will have to hire long-term workers or buy people, and there will not be many rooms at that time. As for the specific decoration, Mu Fushu also has requirements. After all, the Lin family had done it in a big family, and they discussed it carefully with Mu Fushu, and listened to Mu Fushu's too special request that she could understand but couldn't say, and both of them were tired and sweaty, and finally they made it clear and understood. Mu Zhongjun had already taken Ah Zhu out to see the land, and he didn't participate in their topic. Even if he participated, he couldn't understand.

Mu Fushu wanted to draw decoration drawings, but in his memory, the eldest lady could only write and embroider, and never learned to draw, so she had to remind herself to go to the construction site to see more when the time came, and then point out the deficiencies in person. The Lin family had the silver in their hands, and they were not reluctant to spend it, but went to the city with their sister-in-law to buy cloth and come back to make clothes. Until now, the eldest lady hasn't worn dirty pants!

It was the first day of construction, and the people who helped early in the morning came, the women were cooking on the fire in the kitchen, and the men were waiting not far from the old house for the auspicious time to start work. The village chief, Lin Dalang, took incense and firecrackers, and when the time came, they began to light incense and set off firecrackers, and the men took tools to dig the foundation on the ground that had been marked a long time ago.

At the end of the day, the women beckoned them to dinner. The bowls are all oversized, full of a bowl of japonica rice and brown rice boiled together, a big spoonful of fat meat boiled vegetables, everyone eats with a mouth full of oil, after eating a break, and then in full swing.

Mu Fushu had eaten and found a stone slab by the river not far from his home to practice calligraphy. She was afraid that her font would be different from the original lady, so she took the time to practice with a brush dipped in water first, and there was no trace of any trace of the water. Ah Zhu has made a few friends of the same age, and she is having a good time, and she will not think of her sister until the evening.

After writing for most of the hour, Mu Fushu sighed. The eldest mother's handwriting is good, but there is no comparison with her at all. But she was about to write worse, which was really embarrassing.

Throwing down the brush, she sat down on the stone slab and stared blankly at the river. Seeing a figure walking across the street, she took a closer look, her upper body was black and her lower body was gray, her hair was tied up on the top of her head, and a bamboo hairpin was inserted. It was the boy I met when I went down the mountain that day.

Although separated by a river about five or six meters wide, Mu Fushu still saw his appearance clearly: his skin was slightly dark, but his eyebrows were exquisite, and his eyebrows were not sword eyebrows, but slender willow eyebrows, fortunately, the color was very dark, and it was slightly thicker, not feminine. The eyes are big, and the tails of the eyes are raised, which is comparable to his own Danfeng eyes. The nose is like a gall, the lips are slightly upturned, it looks a little pale, and the face is very contoured, looking a bit like a modern half-breed.

This beautiful and delicate boy looked like he was about ten years old, a head taller than Mu Fushu. He also saw Mu Fushu, probably with a fresh face, staring at her twice.

Mu Fushu is a face control, and he always yearns for good things, so he smiled toothily when he looked over. The boy was stunned and laughed, and Mu Fushu was so annoyed by his smile that he almost forgot to breathe. This child is fortunately a male baby, and if it is a female baby, it definitely has the potential to become a disaster. Anyway, at this moment, Mu Fushu completely forgot that he was no worse than others.

The boy walked to the opposite bank of the river and squatted down, took off his shoes, and rolled up his trousers. Mu Fushu looked at him as if he was planning to go into the water, the weather in late autumn was already very cold, and this kind of water in the world was the rhythm of catching a cold. She raised her voice and said, "Little brother, what are you doing? ”

The boy rolled up his trouser legs and smiled shyly at her, "Catch the fish." ”

Mu Fushu saw that he was empty-handed, and he couldn't imagine how he caught the fish at all. Seeing him cautiously stepping into the river, Mu Fushu seemed to tremble when she saw him go into the water, and she couldn't help but get goosebumps. Afraid that he would interfere with his catching fish, he stopped talking.

The boy bent down and stood quietly in the water for a long time, when suddenly his hands were quickly pressed into the water, and in the splash, he grabbed a carp weighing at least two pounds with both hands and threw it to the shore.

Mu Fushu opened his mouth wide, what a miracle! Her face was full of admiration, the boy blushed at her, caught another fish, hurried ashore and put on his shoes, put down his trousers and lifted the fish and said to her: "I'm leaving, you can go home too, this river is not deep, but it is very urgent, you should be careful." ”

Mu Fushu nodded, looked at him with admiration, and when the boy walked five or six steps, he suddenly said loudly: "My name is Auntie, what is your name?" ”

"Everyone calls me Saburo." He turned to her and smiled, and quickly walked away.

Mu Fushu picked up the brush and walked slowly home. The construction site was in full swing, and many men were shirtless. Mu Fushu knew that these people did not charge wages for their work, but only provided two meals a day. I don't have any money to work so hard, I can't help but give thirty-two likes.

Lin and a group of sisters-in-law and aunts who helped were washing dishes in the kitchen and were preparing to feed. Because they didn't charge wages, Mu Zhongjun and the Lin family decided to have meat at every meal. Mu Fushu also felt that the food money could never be saved, as for being like other crossing women, she didn't think about buying pigs to make a table of delicious food.

She doesn't want to save these small sums of money, for a person who is often an eight-figure business dealing, it is really not suitable for her to buy pigs and cook to save money. She has never been short of money since she can remember, so it is not her rhythm to make money in a small business or something, and she doesn't look down on that little money.

Mu Fushu greeted the Lin family and the other grandmothers and grandmothers, and was preparing the room, when the pig ran back and called the Lin family out: "Auntie, there is an elder brother who asked us if we want big fish." ”

Hearing the word big fish, Mu Fushu thought of San Lang. followed Ah Zhu to the door, and sure enough, it was the boy named San Lang standing there with a fish, the backlight seemed to render a halo around him, even if he couldn't see his face clearly, he was also beautiful at the moment.

Before the Lin family could speak, Mu Fushu had already stepped forward and said loudly: "Brother San Lang, how much do you sell us this fish?" ”

Although San Lang's skin was a little dark, he could still see that his face was red again, this time it was red to the root of his ears, and he lowered his head and said shyly: "Two fifteen wen." ”

It's not expensive. Lin took out fifteen wen and took the fish. Ah Zhu seemed to like this beautiful brother very much, pestering him to ask questions, and he answered Ah Zhu's questions good-naturedly. Mu Fushu was first shocked by the color of San Lang's eyes observed at close range: it was clearly dark with lake blue, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell it, this kid was really a mixed-race.

Smiling and watching him talk happily with Ah Zhu, Mu Fushu felt that his biological age had become younger, and his mental age had also become smaller, and he seemed to prefer to spend time with children.
