Chapter 21 Occupation and Gossip

A few days ago, Zhen Niang had already asked Shui Bo for some cinders, and yellow mud, which were made into briquettes and placed in the firewood shed.

Then he trotted into the firewood room, took out the briquettes, went to the kitchen, grabbed a handful of twigs and leaves, burned the coal stove, and filled the copper kettle with a pot of cold water and put it in the coal stove.

When it was time for dinner, a jug of water was boiling.

At this time, there is no need for Zhenniang to explain, this usefulness is obvious.

"Zhenniang, can this coal stove be sold like a thermos barrel?" On the side, Zhao's eyes lit up.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law is looking at it." Du Shi pursed his lips and said, also excited.

"But we can't make this thing ourselves, we have to make it with my eldest brother." Brother Xi'er is a big ghost, and his brain is very active, and he talked about Guan Jian all of a sudden.

"It's not, Da Lang is very tired all day, and he still does this, I'm afraid I can't bear it." Zhao said with a frown.

"Mother, a pair of chopsticks is easily broken, ten pairs of chopsticks are firmly hugged into a group, this is a brother in battle, a father and son soldier in the war, this job is different from the last insulated bucket, that is a little manual work, can't toss up or something, but this coal stove is well developed, it can be regarded as a foundation of the family, but the eldest brother is weak, and he will be swallowed if he can't keep it, I look at the eldest brother It's better to find the main brother of the ninth uncle's family or the righteous brother, pull them in, and everyone will do it together." Zhen Niang said on the side.

The Zhao family and the Du family looked at each other, and they both looked at the old shopkeeper Li and the Wu family who were sitting on the edge of the table of the Eight Immortals drinking tea and muffling silently.

These eight rooms and nine rooms have dead knots.

"You damn, what the hell is going on, you can't find it." Seeing that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were silent, Zhao glared at Zhenniang.

"Mother, I think it should be okay to find the right body, I'm afraid he will have a hard time, and he asked me to borrow money a few days ago." At this time, Li Dalang said that he was honest and had something to say.

"Did you borrow it?" Zhao stared, and on the other hand, Du also hated iron and steel.

Li Zhengshen of the Ninth Uncle's family, although he is not a gambler like Zhenniang's father, but this kid was obsessed with alchemy and cultivation at a young age, and he mixed with some Taoist priests all day long, and his father Jing Dongbo was angry every time he saw him, and he wanted to break his legs, and the Ninth Uncle even let out the words, saying that if Li Zhengshen did not take off the Taoist robe, he would not be allowed to go home.

Because of this, this Li Zheng is out all day long, and he doesn't have anything to do with his home.

Therefore, if you lend money to the body, it is borrowed but not repaid. The Zhao family has one money and one life, can you not stare at this time?

Besides, Uncle Jiu had already released his words, asking everyone not to give the wrong money to the right body, the original intention was to force him to give up the unrealistic things of alchemy.

Therefore, this loan to Li Zhengshen will not be good at all.

"I was paid that day, so I gave him my wages." Li Dalang said in a sullen voice, while Du Shi pinched him angrily, muttering in his mouth: "I asked you two days ago, it's time to pay your salary, why didn't you get the money back, I didn't expect you to give it all to the body, our family is not over." ”

"You, forget about borrowing the money, don't mention the matter of pulling the gang, the one who is now thinking about alchemy, and he doesn't even listen to his father's words, is it difficult to listen to you, and if something happens, the relationship between the two families will be even worse." Zhao frowned.

"Mother, I can't say that, my daughter thinks that if it's for the relationship between the two families, she should pull Brother Zhengshen into the gang, although Brother Zhengshen is now obsessed with alchemy, but Brother Zhengshen is also short of money now, with this point, we will pull him in, but as soon as he enters the business sea, he can't help it, and then let the eldest brother watch it, maybe he can pull him back from the road of alchemy, and at that time, Uncle Jiu will not also have to feel the good of our family." Zhen Niang said, sparing no effort to persuade.

It is really a Taoist profession that is a high-risk industry for the future. One is not good, and it may endanger the entire Li family.

Emperor Jiajing of this dynasty is fascinated by alchemy, and he is even more courteous to the monks, but the problem is that Emperor Jiajing will be finished next year, and the newly enthroned Emperor Longqing hated these monks to death, and the first thing he did when he ascended the throne was that the monks and Taoists sacrificed butcher knives.

Just because Emperor Jiajing believed in the words of the alchemy alchemist, the two kings did not meet, so since Longqing won the position of prince, Jiajing has never seen Longqing.

Think about it, a prince who can't see his father, and is in the whirlpool of the struggle for imperial power, I can't figure out which day the crown prince is gone or a trivial matter, I don't know how to lose my life, how to live that day with sincere fear, then I have already cut those Fang Shi with a thousand knives in my heart.

Therefore, we must not let the righteous brother toss on the crooked road of alchemy.

Besides, my eldest brother is too honest, and my brother is a cow, a ghost, a snake and a god, I know a little bit, this business, the road is wide, it can be said that it is a mutually beneficial thing to pull the brother into the gang.

"Zhengliang can do this by himself, but you can give it a try." At this time, the old shopkeeper Li on the side spoke.

Mr. Li's words were the final word, and the matter was decided. Li Dalang went out at night, during the day Li Dalang oil mill has something to do, this coal stove business still doesn't know how, this oil mill errand can't be lost for a while, and Li Zhengshen doesn't know which mountain to wander around in the daytime, so it's better to find a quasi-child at night.

The next day, Zhen Niang got up early again, last night's coal stove was closed, and there was a hot pot of hot water in the copper kettle, and there was no need to get up early to go to the tiger stove to fetch water, but Zhen Niang was used to getting up early, and when it came to a little, she woke up automatically, but she couldn't sleep anymore.

After getting up, he went out again, went to the tiger stove, and helped Shui Bo do some work. It's like a morning exercise.

When I arrived at the tiger stove, I was the busiest at this time, and Zhen Niang squeezed to the stove and sat on the small bench to add firewood.

"Zhenniang, where's your copper kettle?" Shui Bo saw Zhen Niang coming empty-handed, so he asked.

"There's hot water at home, Uncle Shui, the coal-burning stove I told you last time has already risen, and I'll ask my eldest brother to help you get another one in two days." Zhen Niang smiled at Mimi's words.

"It's done." Shui Bo said happily, and he was busy fetching water for others.

Zhen Niang sat on the stove, adding firewood, and listening to the people who fetched water chatting and gossiping.

"Sister-in-law Fu, what's wrong with your eyes?" Someone on the side asked the woman in the green coat.

"What's the matter, I called the men in the family to beat them, these men are all black-hearted, they are angry outside, or they are full of yellow soup, and they will be angry with their wives and children when they go home." On the side, the fast-mouthed lady said indignantly.

"There's no way, our woman is just like this, if you are the rich, just hire a husband to come in and see if he can scream." There are also humanitarian sides.

"Phew, do you think he'll hear about recruiting a husband to enter the door? No way, if you don't make it empty, you know the Zheng family? The fast-mouthed lady said again.

"Which Zheng family?" The man next to him asked.

"It's the Zheng family at the Zheng family at the corner of the street." The fast-mouthed lady said.

"What's wrong with the Zheng family?"

"The Zheng family is not bad, but yesterday I heard a news in the Zheng family, the Zheng family has a daughter-in-law who is the second daughter of the old man Li Liu in Li Village, the sister of these two daughters, because her temperament is too weak, the family is not at ease, it is to recruit a son-in-law, that Li Village's Li Liu old man's family foundation is rich, and the son-in-law enters the door, and he has always been diligent, but who would have expected that in the first two years, the son-in-law who recruited the door went to Suzhou to do business with the people of the Zheng family, and secretly asked for a daughter-in-law outside, I heard that the daughter-in-law even has a child, A few days ago, the old man Li Liu only noticed something, so he asked the Zheng family to inquire, and then he inquired, but he didn't ask someone to kill him, what kind of security do you say about the husband who came to the door, the man in the world is general. The fast-mouthed lady sneered.

"Then Old Man Li Liu still has to be angry." The man shook his head and sighed.

Zhen Niang listened to it clearly on the side, only to realize that what she was talking about was actually the matter of her sixth grandfather's house, and the matter of her Aunt Jinhua was reminded when she went to the sixth grandfather's house that day.

Originally, I thought that the sixth grandfather didn't inquire about the news so quickly, but I didn't expect that this matter had already spread all over the city.

I don't know what the sixth grandfather will do with this matter?
