Chapter Twenty-Six: Catching Ghosts
Chapter Twenty-Six: Catching Ghosts
The next day, the old man Li Liu took Li Jinhua to go around each room to thank the brothers of each family for supporting Aunt Jinhua. Li Jincai also followed behind the two, his face a little haggard. Seeing people with smiling faces.
Zhen Niang looked at it from the side, and only felt that this person was either particularly incompetent, or particularly tolerant, and judging from the genealogical records, it was obviously the latter.
"Jinhua, I can follow you, this man is back, but don't be as stupid as before, do whatever he wants, you need to be vigilant, the family's money, the house deed, etc., must be grasped in your own hands, you can't let go of the slightest hand, this man has no money, he can't turn over your palm." Zhao pulled Li Jinhua aside and taught him a face-to-face lesson.
"Xiexie sister-in-law, I have made a note of it, and I will keep an eye on him in the future, and I will not let him have a chance to get angry." Li Jinhua also said with a calm face.
This eats a trench and grows wiser.
Zhenniang knew that when the sixth grandfather was there, this Li Jincai would not be able to be called, and she was afraid that when the sixth grandfather left, Aunt Jinhua would not be able to suppress Li Jincai.
In short, there is no big mistake in being careful.
Then the Li family left the sixth room and returned to Li Village.
"Alright, get to work." Zhao waved at his family.
So, in the next few months, the Li family entered the fast lane of development, the family silkworm breeding is booming, coupled with the development of the textile industry in recent years, the purchase price of the silk has risen, and even the purchase price of the silkworm cocoon has also risen.
Of course, the income of the silkworm cocoon is only a part of the income of the Li family in the past few months, in the past few months, the most prosperous is the Li Ji coal stove, his eldest brother and the two cousins are the most price-worthy match, the eldest brother concentrated on taking a group of brothers in the city gate hole to make the coal stove, and the body took off a Taoist uniform, and took out his ability to fool people on weekdays.
Although as soon as the coal stove came out, some people imitated it, but after listening to Zhen Niang's words, he paid attention to the promotion of Li Ji's signboard at the beginning of the promotion, so the brand effect was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, despite the intervention of some powerful small businesses, Li Ji coal furnace still accounts for half of the market in Huizhou.
Therefore, the income of the coal furnace is the bulk of the Li family's income in the past few months, just to expand reproduction, the money earned has been invested again, after all, it was just a small fight before, and now Li Zhengliang officially resigned from the oil mill, built a factory outside the city, and set up a kiln himself, which is a serious factory.
Because of this, the Li family has little money to spare. However, the development of the Li family is visible.
It's late autumn in the blink of an eye.
Zhen Niang got up early in the morning, and after finishing the morning's work, she carried a shallow wooden lattice on her back and took Xi Ge'er out to set up a stall on Sibao Street to sell ink.
The wooden lattice on her body is like the kind of cigarette holder that sold cigarettes on the street before liberation, which she specially asked her eldest brother to make and use to sell ink.
After accumulating bituminous coal for several months, she exchanged some loose bituminous coal with the ink mill, and with these bituminous coals, she made ink during this time.
It's just that at the beginning, the ink is not easy to sell, after all, the ink has been basically shaped since the Ming Dynasty, that is, in later generations, except for adding some mechanized processing, the ink itself does not have any special breakthrough.
Of course, there is also diversification and refinement of the formula, but these things need to be opportunities for people to recognize the goods, and they have to take their time.
Zhenniang is not in a hurry, now that the family is much more relaxed, life is suddenly relaxed.
"Second sister, I want to eat stone cake." Arrive at the entrance of Sibao Street, there is a small shop at the entrance of the street, there is a big coal stove at the door of the shop, there is a frying pan on the stove, there are three big cakes in the pot, three round big bluestones are pressed on it, the master of the hot cake is hanging in the air with two hands, five fingers are pressed on the stone respectively, rotating, the three cakes are pressed by the stone as thin as paper, the rice cake is bubbling with grease, a bean yolk sandwiched with the fragrance of meat is fragrant, and people drool when they smell it.
This is Huizhou's unique stone kueh, and Xi Ge'er can't walk anymore when he sees it.
Zhen Niang was also drooling at this time, in her previous life, every time she returned to She County, she had to buy this kind of kueh to eat, so she took out the money: "Boss, come to two." ”
"Okay." The boss shouted, took two palm-sized pieces of oiled paper from the table, wrapped the lower part of the cake, and handed them to Zhen Niang and Xi Ge'er one by one.
The outer skin of this kind of kueh is very thin by the stone, and the fat inside has completely turned into oily whole kuay oil, and when you bite into the mouth, the outer skin is crispy, and the oil-soaked bean yolk inside is extraordinarily soft, in short, it is extremely delicious.
The two sisters and brothers ate very happily one by one. Then set up a stall under the locust tree on one side, that is, open the two pieces of wooden lattice on the back and place them on the ground. There are all kinds of ink in the lattice.
From pine smoke ink, to oil smoke ink, as well as lacquer smoke ink, in addition, Zhen Niang also made two pieces of medicinal ink, although it is not eight treasures and five gall medicinal ink, but this kind of medicinal ink is also extremely haode, for fire sores have a very haode effect.
"Girl, you're selling ink again?" As soon as Zhen Niang's stall was set up, I saw a chubby woman of about thirty, walking by with a blue child.
"Well, my aunt is going to buy groceries?" Zhenniang also hurriedly got up and said hello, she has been selling ink for a few days, and this aunt can be regarded as her old customer.
From the first day she sold ink, this aunt said that after buying a piece to try, she would come to sell it in the next few days, saying that the family had said that they would sell it and send it to relatives.
"Hmm." The aunt nodded, and said, "Get me another ingot of soot ink." ”
"Okay." Zhenniang said happily that this woman buys vegetables every day when she buys vegetables in the morning, which can be regarded as helping her open the store.
Zhen Niang took out two cardboard boxes, filled two pieces of soot ink, and handed them to the woman.
The woman paid the money and took her leave.
At this moment, there was a commotion not far ahead, and many people couldn't help but go to the front.
"Uncle, what's wrong?" Xi Ge'er is a lively person who likes to be lively, so he pulled the passer-by and asked curiously.
"The fairy aunt of the White Lotus Sect is catching ghosts." The uncle said.
"Catching ghosts? Who's going to catch ghosts? Zhen Niang also asked curiously at this time.
"Zheng Sanniang of Zheng Fanpu's family, I heard that she was possessed by a ghost, so her two brothers invited a fairy girl to catch ghosts, and they all went to see her." As the uncle spoke, he stopped nagging with the Zhenniang sisters and brothers, and walked away quickly.
When Brother Xi heard this, she couldn't sit still, and said to Zhenniang: "Second sister, I'll go and have a look." ”
And Zhen Niang was thinking at this time, Zheng Sanniang of Zheng Fan's family? Isn't that Aunt Zheng Lamei? Zhen Niang's heart couldn't help but twist, what kind of ghost possessed that thing, it was pure nonsense.
In history, the White Lotus Sect has a long history, there are truthfulness and kindness, fasting, and smelting diseases to save people, but there are also those who use the White Lotus Sect to collect wealth and harm people.
"Okay, let's go together." Zhenniang replied, she couldn't sit still at this time, cleaned up the stall, put the wooden lattice on her shoulder, and pulled Xi Ge'er to trot with the flow of people.
After a while, I arrived at Zheng's restaurant in front.
At this time, the onlookers in front of Zheng's restaurant were crowded.
Zhen Niang pulled Xi Ge'er to the door of a grocery store next door, stood on the stairs and looked into the crowd, and saw Aunt Zheng tied to a chair, and a fairy girl of the White Lotus Sect holding a sword in her hand, waving it in front of Aunt Zheng.
"What the hell is going on?" Zhenniang asked the owner of the grocery store.
"What's going on, the business of the Zheng family's restaurant is not good during this time, and the Zheng lady recently believed in the White Lotus Sect, and somehow said that there were evil ghosts in the family, and the God of Wealth was driven away, so she invited the fairy girl to come and see, but as soon as the fairy girl came, she said that the evil ghost was attached to Zheng Sanniang, isn't this nonsense, isn't it just a few sores on the face? The fairy girl insisted that it was a demon sore, and it was evidence of the possession of a demon, so she tied up Zheng Sanniang and tossed it at this time, which was really a sin. The owner of the grocery store said. Shake your head.
