A few days later, Sun Dahe was sent to the Songjiang Stone Factory, and Sun Dalang was released home after the flail parade, and then took his family to Tianjia Mofang.

Spring is in the blink of an eye.

In the spring season, it is this gloomy city gate hole, and there are also a few traces of spring light reflected in, which is a little more vibrant

In the new year, the biggest thing for Huizhou ink industry is the election of Gongmo.

"What else is there to say, who doesn't know in this Huizhou Mansion now, Miss Yan's illness is treated by Zhenniang's medicine and ink, not to mention anything else, just rush the magic of this medicine and ink, plus the reputation of Li Mo's generation, this tribute ink belongs to the Li family. The Tian family is delusional, and they have just entered the ink industry, and they actually threatened to win the quota of tribute ink, and they are not afraid of the cowhide blowing up. Now this Huizhou can only compete with the Li family, and the Cheng family is the only one. ”

Zhao held a large piece of pressed ink mold and placed it in the dark part of the courtyard to dry.

While working, he also chatted with Zheng, who was doing laundry. Speaking of the Tian family, they are disdainful, in short, since the incident of quitting relatives, the Liangzi of the Tian and Li families are now getting bigger and bigger.

When the Zhao family talked about the Tian family, they didn't have a good tone.

This year, the Li family does not raise silkworms, a few years ago, the development of the textile industry, the price of silk rose high, last year there were many people raising silkworms, the result to zuihou, the price of silk has fallen, even with the price of silkworm cocoons has also decreased, last year Zhao raised three seasons of silkworms, and the first two seasons were a little money, and the third quarter was a loss.

The distressed Zhao scolded his mother.

In addition, this year, the business of the coal stove is more prosperous, the lobby brother Li Zhengshen of the ninth room has put aside the matter of alchemy and cultivation this morning, and concentrates on running the market outside, this year, I am going to Jinhua, Hangzhou, and Suzhou, and the family workshop is all dependent on the eldest brother Li Zhengliang alone, and Li Zhengliang is too busy alone, so Du Shi went to the workshop to help the workers cook rice, manage the money, and relieve the logistics worries.

It is Zhen Niang here, and because of the medicine and ink to cure Miss Yan's illness, now Zhen Niang's reputation for making ink is outside, and there have been several groups of trotters who have come to order Zhen Niang's ink.

Therefore, the small ink-making workshop at home should also be expanded.

So, at the beginning of the year, after the family discussed, the silkworm raising business stopped, and the family rented the mulberry land to others, and they could collect some rent money for a year.

The Zhao family waited for the old shopkeeper Li and the Wu family at home and took care of the family, while the Zheng family helped Zhen Niang make ink together.

Zhao threatened that everyone would work hard to make more money, and strive to buy back the belongings that Li Jingfu lost back then.

"It's not, but the Tian family's ability to drill the camp is not small, and I heard that he has already gone through the path of the new ink officer, so he has to guard against it." That Zheng raised his face while pounding his clothes.

After entering the Li family for more than half a year, the Zheng family has changed a lot, the previous thin form is gone, the face of Lahuang is also white, and the person is also energetic, compared to before, he looks at least seven or eight years younger, and he is also a lot more cheerful. It's like the two concubines of the Zhao family, Haode and sisters.

As for the Zhao family, in the past half a year, first, the situation at home has improved, and with the Zheng family often persuading them on the side, his temper has improved a lot, and he rarely quarrels with others anymore.

Of course, facing the two Zhenniang and Xi Ge'er at home, they still have to be beaten and scolded from time to time, but at most they shoot twice like a gray shot every time.

In the words of the kid from Xige'er, it's okay if you don't fight, but it's still itchy all over your body.

This kid's words amused the whole family.

At this moment, Zhen Niang was lighting a cigarette and coming out, with a black and gray face, she stood in the courtyard and washed her face by the vat, listening to the conversation between her mother and the Zheng family.

But he chuckled in his heart, Gonggong Yan should be on the side of the Li family, but the problem is that Gonggong Yan is only a supervisor of ink, not an ink official, and now people outside deliberately promote their illness of using medicine and ink to smelt Miss Yan, but it will give people a feeling that if Gonggong Yan chooses the Li family, it is not because of the Li family's ink, but because he wants to repay the Li family's affection, which will definitely make the incoming ink officials have a prejudice that the Li family is relying on relationships to participate in the election, which is not beneficial for the Li family to participate in the tribute and ink election.

Zhen Niang frowned, needless to say, it must have been deliberately spread by the Tian family outside, of course, the Cheng family could not rule out suspicion, they were all competitors.

"Ahem, cough ......" The cough of the old shopkeeper Li came from the cubicle room.

In the spring, everything grows, even this disease also grows badly, and since the beginning of spring, the lung disease of the old shopkeeper Li seems to be even worse. I couldn't rest all night coughing.

Zhenniang hurriedly entered the house, helped her grandfather out, and went outside to bask in the sun.

"Grandpa, you say, this year, how sure is it that the Li Ink Workshop will get the right to pay tribute?" Zhenniang sat next to her grandfather, and the grandfather and grandson chatted.

"Originally, I was at least sixty percent sure, but now, it's not easy to say, the news that you saved Miss Yan is spreading outside, which will definitely arouse the vigilance of the ink officer against Father-in-law Yan, and at that time, the ink control of the Li family's ink workshop will be stricter. And the Tian family is even more staring at the Li family, he uses the Li family's tobacco formula, and somewhere to get a good ink formula, specifically compared with the Li family, and the ink official seems to have some relationship with the Tian family, I am afraid that it is more biased towards the Tian family, while the Cheng family is playing the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. Old Li said.

It's the same as what Zhen Niang was worried about before.

Zhen Niang scratched her head with some annoyance, when she saved Miss Yan, she had to say the orders of her father-in-law, I thought that this tribute Mo belonged to the Li family, and I didn't think about it, but as soon as the matter was exaggerated and publicized, something happened again, and a good thing turned into a bad thing.

"Don't worry, the Li family has to participate in the Gongmo election every three years, but it has not been successful so far, it is not that the Li family's strength is not enough, sometimes it is completely unlucky, the election of Gongmo, strength is only a part, luck is equally important." The old shopkeeper said that since the Li family had an accident on Gongmo, they have never succeeded in the election.

Zhenniang only nodded, she couldn't help with this matter.

"Eighth uncle, eighth uncle, sister-in-law, Zhenniang." At this moment, the hidden courtyard door was pushed open, and Aunt Jinhua came in with Brother Run, carrying a big bamboo basket in her hand.

As soon as she entered the door, Zhenniang smelled the fragrance.

"Aunt Jinhua, what delicious food do you have in your basket?" Zhenniang stood up with a smile and said hello, and waved to Brother Run.

"Ha, Zhenniang's nose is pointy, isn't it February 2nd tomorrow, I made some rice noodle steamed cakes and brought them to everyone to taste." Aunt Jinhua said happily.

"You girl, you are not ashamed, a big girl, you know how to eat." Zhao was not angry on the side. Then he said to Li Jinhua: "Why is Jinhua so polite." ”

"What kind of politeness is this, it's just something made casually, if it's really polite, I can't take it." Li Jinhua said with a smile.

Zhao took it happily.

At this time, Brother Xi came out of nowhere, first grabbed a few pine branches placed on the top of the basket and threw them on the ground, then lifted the white cotton cloth covering the rice flour steamed cake, grabbed a few steamed cakes, and then pulled Brother Run'er out to play.

"Don't run too far, we'll be gone in a moment." On the side, Aunt Jinhua hurriedly said in her throat.

"Got it." Xi Ge'er's voice came back from afar.

This stinky boy, Zhen Niang looked at the pine branches littered on the ground, scolded angrily, and then picked up the pine branches.

It is a custom in Huizhou to put a few evergreen pines and cypresses on the basket, which means that it is evergreen, which is an auspicious meaning.

Picking up the pine branch, Zhen Niang was about to throw it aside, but the section of the broken pine branch suddenly shone with a little blue light.

Zhenniang's face changed suddenly.

Hurriedly looked at the pine needles carefully, and sure enough, the tips of the pine needles were all yellow.

Oh no, this situation, if she guessed correctly, is pine nematode disease, which is fatal for pine wood. This disease also existed in ancient times, and it was recorded several times in history, and the ancients called it pine plague.

"Aunt Jinhua, where did you break this pine branch?" Zhen Niang hurriedly asked.

"It's in the pine field in the village." Li Jinhua said as a matter of course.

"Zhenniang, what's wrong?" Old Shopkeeper Li saw that his goddess Sun was wrong, and hurriedly asked.

Zhenniang wasn't sure if it was pine plague, so she didn't shout loudly, just took the pine branch, came to her grandfather's side, showed the somewhat blue section to her grandfather, and then said, "Grandpa, it seems to be pine plague." ”

"Pine plague? Definitely? Li Lao shopkeeper heard these two words, the corners of the mouth twitched, every pine plague, for the ink industry is a disaster, although now many ink mills began to use tung oil, but pine smoke is still an important raw material, especially tribute ink, pay attention to the simple and righteous gas, its important raw material is a hundred years of pine, the bituminous coal of this hundred years of pine is not replaced by any other bituminous coal.

"I'm not completely sure yet, I'd like to go to Matsuba with Aunt Jinhua for a while." Zhen Niang said.

"This kind of thing, you can't go alone, in this way, you call your ninth uncle to go with him, he saw a pine plague back then." The way of the old shopkeeper Li.

Zhen Niang nodded, if she confirmed this matter by herself, Mofang would definitely send someone to see it, so it was better to call Uncle Jiu to run twice to save points.

Aunt Jinhua brought three baskets of rice noodle steamed cakes this time, seven eight or nine three rooms, one basket per room.

Zhen Niang ran with her, first went to the seventh room, and then went to the ninth room, when she saw the ninth uncle, Zhen Niang quietly showed the pine branch to the ninth uncle, and then said about the pine plague.

When Uncle Jiu heard this, his eyes immediately turned red, and he didn't even have a kind word to greet Li Jinhua for tea, and immediately asked Li Jinhua to take him and Zhenniang to Songchang.
