Chapter 106 is full of loads
Zheng Ruoying wanted to walk to the store in three or two steps to talk to Liang Chuan, but when she looked closely, a large group of his relatives and friends behind Liang Chuan were there, and she was a little frivolous to rush over. Zheng Ruoying said hello to her father and Shopkeeper Zhu, and Shi Shiran walked towards Liang Chuan solemnly.
Liang Chuan thought that under the court, this girl would not take the liberty to talk to him, a poor farmer, considering her identity. Who knew that this girl actually took the initiative to come, Liang Chuan is also a rigid old-fashioned old-fashioned person, who has undergone the education and transformation of modern open minds, and the etiquette and customs of this era are a big piece of dung in his eyes!
Zheng Ruoying came over, and she couldn't pretend not to know her, so she gave Zheng Ruoying a kind smile at the moment.
Zheng Ruoying said: "Are the big officials coming to buy New Year's goods today?" ”
"Yes, this Spring Festival couplets are sold out, and there is only red paper left, and you have to write it yourself when you go back, you don't want to make money in this business!"
"Where will you not want to make money, the goods can not be sold if you buy more, you can only throw it away after the New Year, it is not as good as firewood He can burn the fire, and it is more risky to enter too much, Zhang Daguan, who knows everything, should understand it, besides, today is twenty-nine, and what others should have bought at home has already been bought, where is it so busy as your family, and today is buying New Year's goods."
Yi Niang knew this eldest lady, and when Liang Chuan's feet were not good, Zheng Ruoying and her cousin had been to their small grass hut together. Watching this young lady and her own man talking and laughing on the street, comparing herself with others is like a firefly and a moon, and I feel inferior.
Ye Xiaochai doesn't care about these, she thinks that she is just a little worse than her life, but when it comes to human feelings and customs, she is not inferior to Zheng Ruoying. If Zheng Ruoying is a green plum, she is a ripe peach. She saw that Yi Niang's expression was a little gloomy when she looked at this girl, so she stood up and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Dongjia, this girl looks like a fairy, when did you know her, why haven't you told us about it?" ”
Zheng Ruoying didn't see Ye Xiaochai, there were two eldest sisters behind Ye Xiaochai, they hadn't seen each other, and they were stunned for a moment, when did Liang Chuan know so many beautiful women. A woman's mind is lively, Zheng Ruoying thought to herself that Liang Chuan is really not simple, how long has it been, he has changed from a small grass house to a big house, there was originally a wife in the family, and now he is with so many people, the key is not to call the official Xianggong, but to call the owner, what does this mean, do these people all follow Liang Chuan to eat.
"This girl is...?" Zheng Ruoying looked surprised and asked.
Ye Xiaochai also showed a kind smile and replied to Zheng Ruoying: "I am a subordinate who does chores for the owner and their family!" All three of us. ”
Human! Zheng Ruoying looked at Liang Chuan in disbelief, Liang Chuan's old face was red, and he couldn't deny it, as if he had acquiesced to this statement. Zheng Ruoying sighed, she can't find such a beautiful woman as a maid in her own family, a woman with this kind of appearance can go to any big family to be a concubine, it is not in demand, this man has great ability, he can find such a woman as a maid, and there are several.
Ye Xiaochai is generous and impressive, and a woman's thoughts at this time are often where she is, and it is clearly your own little wife. The expression on Zheng Ruoying's face was unpredictable, and it was difficult to say anything in front of so many people.
Three women in one play, Liang Chuan looked at the expressions on the faces of the three of them, and he could only hehe in his heart.
Zheng Yiqian also walked in and asked, "Ying'er, who are these people?" ”
Zheng Ruoying pointed at Liang Chuan and said: "Dad, I originally wanted to introduce you a long time ago, but I never found a chance, this is Liang Chuan from He Lu, and the suggestion of planting sugarcane was put forward by him." ”
Oh, "It's you!" Zheng Yiqian squinted his eyes and looked Liang Chuan up and down, no matter how he looked at it, he just looked like an ordinary farmer, what kind of ecstasy soup did this kid pour into Ruoying, Ruoying was so brainless, no one would listen to him! Dog's day, you planted such a large piece of sugarcane, who are you going to sell it to next year, and when you can't sell it, the uncle will want you to eat it all!
Liang Chuan guessed that this must be Zheng Ruoying's father, the largest household in Fengshan.
For capable people, Liang Chuan has always been more polite, and greeted at the moment: "Hello Master Zheng! ”
Zheng Yiqian looked at the kid and was not happy, this kid didn't want to eat swan meat, right? Besides, such a poor boy didn't have to pay attention to him when he got along with him, and when he looked at Zheng Ruoying's face, he replied with one word: "Hmm." After speaking, he passed by Liang Chuan and went to inspect the situation in the store.
Liang Chuan is not annoyed or angry, who has the ability to have a temper. Zheng Ruoying was afraid that her father's attitude would make Liang Chuan unhappy, who knew that Liang Chuan actually smiled at her, which made her even more unhappy.
Zheng Yiqian looked back and saw that Zheng Ruoying was still tired of being with Liang Chuan, and immediately coughed and said, "Ying'er, you can't come yet, there are so many shopkeepers who have to go to pay New Year's greetings, why are you still there!" ”
Zheng Ruoying reluctantly followed Zheng Yiqian, and when she left, she looked back at Liang Chuan in three steps, and her eyes were slightly indebted. Liang Chuan smiled at her and waved his hand secretly, as if he didn't care about it, you hurry up and go about your business.
Zheng Ruoying and a few people left, Ye Xiaochai immediately came up, looked at Liang Chuan with his hands behind his back, looked like he was torturing a prisoner in his eyes, and asked: "Your woman's fate is not bad, this daughter of the Zheng family looks at you a little wrong, Sister Yi Niang is on the side, aren't you afraid that Sister Yi Niang will taste it?" ”
Several other people looked at it and covered their mouths and smiled, and Liang Chuan, the owner, was so easy-going with them, he didn't care if he talked casually, if it was in someone else's house, he would have been beaten to death with a stick and thrown out to feed the wild dogs.
Yi Niang was coaxed by several people together, and she was so anxious that she pinched Liang Chuan's waist and eyes. Liang Chuan was pinched and painful, and said: "Xiaochai, don't talk nonsense, I made a contract with Miss Ren, which is to plant that large piece of sugarcane, strictly speaking, I am a business partner with others, you can't talk nonsense." ”
A few people bought these sacrificial items in the grocery store, and then went to the lower pavilion to buy a few jars of rice wine, most of the wine in this era is not high. When the rice wine is first entered, it is sweet and refreshing, and it will make people drink too much unconsciously, and the stamina is quite strong, and many people are still fascinated the next day after drinking.
The fruits on the street are also very fresh, Yi Niang bought some Ya pears, olives, and citrus, these sacrifices can be worshiped to the gods, and they can also be eaten daily after worshipping the gods, buy a little more, and then there will be enough people to eat.
In Liang Chuan's memory, every year at this time, every household will start to prepare steamed rice cakes, and the specialty of their hometown is steamed bowl cakes, and the snow-white bowl cakes can laugh the best. But how is it that no one seems to make this snack in this era, oh yes, white sugar! The price of white sugar in this era is simply sky-high, where can ordinary people use white sugar, let alone use white sugar to make bowl cakes.
A group of people carried large bags of things, most of which were placed in the bamboo basket behind Zhaodi, and Zhaodi was also carrying a fat goose in his hand. For there were still several jars of wine, and the women did not have any empty hands in their hands. A group of people bought things and returned with a full load, walking on the road of Fengshan, everyone cast envious eyes along the way, eating, wearing, drinking, they bought all the things, and it costs a lot of money to buy so many things. When did He Lu have such a big household.
When a group of people came back, they happened to meet He Baozheng, who came back from the field, and He Baozheng looked at the things that the family was holding in their hands, and was a little frightened and at a loss. He Baozheng is old, and the young people in the family are not there, and today he is twenty-nine years old and went to the field to clean up the crops, and he is dirty, and he has no heart to buy a new dress.
Liang Chuan was a little happy to meet this old man, so he took him to the house to drink at night, and just bought several jars of wine today, how about tasting it together.
He Baozheng kept chattering along the way: "It's not me who said, Liang Chuan, I haven't seen you engaged in production or anything on weekdays, why do you have endless money every day, old man, I serve these crops every day, and I can't afford to buy two jars of wine, you teach me, how to do it." ”
Liang Chuan said with a smile, this is all God's appreciation for eating, good luck, drink and talk!
Brother Zhao said hello to Liang Chuan and Yi Niang, and went home to see his father with new clothes and meat. Just like Brother Zhao himself said, he came back after a while when he went back, and his sister-in-law encountered this kind of big festival, and her mentality was simply explosive, and she caught and scolded whoever at home, and all kinds of vulgar swear words were endless. I still haven't seen Brother Zhao, as soon as I saw Brother Zhao go home with things, there was an old man's share but not theirs, so angry that he almost lifted the roof, and Brother Zhao didn't even enter the door of the house, so he came back.
When they returned, several of the women began to slaughter geese and cut meat. In this era, there was no gas induction cooker, the speed of cooking rice and meat was very slow, and there was only a stove at home, so it was often necessary to put the meat and vegetables first, and then put them in the pot to cook again when they were to be served, so that the speed of serving would be fast. It is estimated that the pot on the stove will not rest from today to tomorrow, because it will take a long time to blanch the goose and the game meat bought, and tomorrow we will have to sacrifice to the land lord.
At night, Liang Chuan asked Yi Niang to cook a few dishes first, and called He Baozheng and Uncle He San next door to come to his house to drink two cups first. Liang Chuan had instructed Yiniang to send some meat and vegetables to the third uncle to thank him for the kindness of sending medicine, but the third uncle refused to accept anything, the peasant family was sincere, and he had to invite him to drink anything today.
Originally, I wanted to wait for a few Luocheng masters to come back and drink together, but I didn't expect to wait for a big night and not come back. Liang Chuan estimated that a few masters would come back when the sun went down, but it turned out that the moon was high at night, and a few masters came back from outside.
After Liang Chuan asked, he learned that these masters knew that Liang Chuan's house was lively these days, and he didn't want to come back too early to block the owner's house, so he stayed with the little apprentices in Xinzhi for a while, thinking that Liang Chuan and they should sleep before coming back. Unexpectedly, when I came back, I happened to meet Liang Chuan inviting He Baozheng to drink, and the chopsticks hadn't moved yet. A few people don't hold it, the owner is so gracious, and then he doesn't give face, a few people come and go, a glass of wine goes down the stomach, Tiannan Haibei said, that is, Uncle He never said a word from beginning to end, and everyone saw that he had seen through the world, and he smiled on his face.
